#271: The index page should link to a package, not a package version --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: HackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- The index page (http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html) should link to packages (i.e. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage- scripts/package/haskell-src-exts), not particular package versions (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/haskell-src- exts-0.3.3). This will decrease teh number of people who pass around outdated URL's, as its rare people want a particular version of a package -- usually they want the most recent version. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/271 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
