Hi,

3 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/hackage-server:

These implement bulk writing and reading of Distro data in CSV format.

Is there a way to set it up so that applies go to the list? Is doing so good idea? I think we talked about this briefly off list.

Yes, I can do that. I've decided to try switching to just sending one email per bunch of patches. I feel that not enough people are discussing things on cabal-devel. Plenty of people work in pairs or email just me. I wonder if it is because the mailing list currently just gets swamped with commit messages. I'm sure we'll get more discussion and more volunteers if it looks like the cabal-devel list is a more lively place where people can ask questions. I mean mainly development issues, not user questions which is served well by haskell-cafe and stack overflow. We should also more explicitly indicate that the list is for hackage development too.
