Hi, the home page of a package on Hackage links to various distributions to show which versions are available, i.e. Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD, etc. In NixOS, we have fairly up-to-date package set, and I would like to see that distribution included on Hackage. Now I wonder how to get that done? Can anyone advice on the procedure to add support for a distribution to Hackage? Take care, Peter

have a look at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/570 for the history of the feature, http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/cabalDebianMap.txt for the format for the file you have to provide, and open a ticket at aboves trac for it to be included.
