[Hackage] #635: Display checksum of tarball on Hackage
#635: Display checksum of tarball on Hackage --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dons | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Distro packaging tools have to, currently, download .tar.gz from Hackage in order to compute the md5 or sha has needed for many package systems. This wastes bandwidth. We could simply compute the hash on the server and store it somewhere. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/635 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Having the hashes shown is probably a good idea regardless, but I would have thought that distro packagers would be downloading the tarball anyway in order to test that the packages they are making are buildable.
Agreed. Nice to have but not critical. Also, if one wanted to have distros avoid downloading then we'd need more than just sha1. For example gentoo uses a whole bunch of hash types. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/635#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
