[Hackage] #275: On each package page, give the name of the corresponding debian package
#275: On each package page, give the name of the corresponding debian package --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: HackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: minor | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- This is a feature request. I don't know enough to know if this is a good idea, maybe there's a better way of tracking down which debian package to get for a given hackage package. Maybe you could also give corresponding package names for other operating systems. All I know is that I wanted parsec, it didn't come with ubuntu ghc, and I couldn't tell how to get it without asking on #haskell. This could have been resolved by a sentence on the hackageDB page for parsec. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/275 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

The main problem with putting it on particular packages' pages is that we'd have to know whether Debian (or, in general, any OS) actually has a package for it. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/275#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
