Complete package description list
Hi, I would like to know: 1. The correct source to get the complete list of available Haskell package descriptions 2. Any feed or notification mechanism to get newer updates on packages How often does the 00-index.tar.gz file from: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz get updated? Or if there is a newer version, where is it made available? Given 00-index.tar.gz, and using the following RSS feed: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.rss give me the complete list of available packages? Appreciate any suggestions in this regard, Thanks! SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com

It is updated each time a new package is uploaded, and contains the .cabal files for all available packages.

So, how would I know if there is a new package in it, other than having to compare it to the previous snapshot? Does the filename (00-index.tar.gz) change?
The filename doesn't change. You could use the RSS feed or the upload log (http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/log), both of which are updated at the same time as the index.

You can also try using Last-Modified or ETag information. % curl --head http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:41:50 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 Last-Modified: Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:49:59 GMT ETag: "1888003-352566-4b36f39c81bc0" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 3482982 Content-Type: application/x-tar Content-Encoding: x-gzip -- Roman I.
