#58: allow dev repo to be specified in cabal file ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ijones | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Cabal-1.6 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:14 SamB]:

Would hackage then check that the contents of the tarball actually matches what's in the repository -- or simply make the tarball on its own?

No, it would not check or generate tarballs. It'd be for other uses (manual or automatic) which wants the equivalent of a release in the source control system. What kind of uses? I'm sure there are several. How about looking at changes since a release, generating automatic changelogs. I'm sure other people can think of others. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/58#comment:15 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
