There used to be a log of Hackage uploads available at [1], but "it's just not here" anymore. Has that content moved to a different URL? Or is there some new way to get that information? I'd like to know the upload dates of every package. I could definitely screenscrape fro the date on the package listing pages, but I was hoping for something a bit more elegant.

[1] http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/log

Just in case anyone else needs something like this, I ended up hacking together a quick screen scraper, though it would be nice if this was available via an API:

... withResponse ("http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-1.1.0") $ ...

It is available directly at: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-1.1.0/upload-time and you may also be interested in http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-1.1.0/uploader How would you know this exists? The whole API is automatically (if not brilliantly) documented: http://hackage.haskell.org/api (which itself is mentioned on the front page) The goal has always been that all the info be publicly available in human and machine readable formats (at least JSON). There are certainly things missing, but we'll accept patches that exposes more stuff. Duncan
