Where can I find the cabal file for 2010.2.0.0 until 2011.1.0.0 is formally released (or will it be 2011.2.0.0 as the release plan says)? Will the CABAL file for 2010.2.0.0 not be available *at all* after 2011.x.0.0 is released?
Start from the real front page http://haskell.org/platform
Which redirects to http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
Click on the "Linux" link.
Scroll down for either heading "Build from source" or "Build from cabal".
There are links to tarballs. They are still 2010.2.0.0.
Inside the tarballs is haskell-platform.cabal somewhere.
Thanks, but that's hardly an obvious route to find it. See the full route I followed further down.
P.S. I am not sure why you are so fixated on the haskell-platform.cabal file itself. It is not like it is of any use outside the context of the full source code.
It's most definitely of use to me outside of the context of the full source code, which is why I'm looking for it :-)
P.P.S. I do not even know, by merely exploring links transitively beginning from the real front page, how to reach an url for haskell-platform.cabal alone. I infer that such an url is for internal use only.
Go to http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ click on the link after the text "Current stable release:". You then end up on the page at http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html, now click on the first link on that page, the one that's labelled "this Cabal file". /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
