A few of us are writing a survey of FP and would like to include some statistic graphs of Haskell (similar to those found here:http://galois.com/blog/2009/03/one-million-haskell-downloads/). Does anyone know how I can obtain such data?
I have obtained this information before and I used, AFAICR, the web-service URL http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/downloads as described on the API page: http://hackage.haskell.org/api#download However, when I tried it just now it requested my Hackage credentials and then gave me a 403 Forbidden error. The file was quite large, nearly 100 MB when I downloaded it last August, and it can only grow bigger so perhaps it has been disabled for that reason? BTW, ghc-devs is probably the wrong list for this topic. Try -cafe? Regards, -- Robin KAY http://www.gekkou.co.uk/
