#285: hackage trac should permit registration ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- hackage trac does not seem to have a "register" option (compare hackage trac with ghc trac). individual logins are nice because: - gives individual rather than anonymous reporters - one place less to support spam email harvesters (account name instead of full email address) - "register" is always there, hence easy to find, unlike the hint hidden on the trac home page that hackage is still abusing the haskell' trac.. (might lower the barrier to file report/suggestion tickets) Duncan comments: We used to have that and got horribly spammed. Apparently for the ghc trac they've worked out how to do that without getting spammed so presumably we could do the same. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/285 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
