can i ask for some more abilities? specifically, about web interface
to package/applications database and ability to include in this
database other things related to Haskell, such as papers and peoples?
imho, ultimate goal of such project will be CPAN-like environment,
with ability to download, upload and search, so that Haskell activity
report will be no more needed

We already have this, under the view link.

 and ability to include in this database other things related to
 Haskell, such as papers and peoples?

That would be pretty interesting... we're not really set up for
anything like this yet; the wiki could be used for some of this.  I
think Shae (cc'd) is working on something for papers.

peace,

[Haskell-cafe] [beta] cabal-get: install haskell packages automatically

2005-09-04 Thread Isaac Jones
Beta testers wanted!

Lemmih (mostly) has been working on a tool which will download and
install Haskell packages and their dependencies.  This tool should
work for any cabal-compatible package.

We're looking for beta testers to try out cabal-get (for downloading
and installing) and cabal-put (for uploading to the central
repository).  We're also looking for more developers to work on this.
The home, for now is here:

http://hackage.haskell.org/ModHackage/Hackage.hs?action=home

and to get cabal-get, grab the bootstrapper:
darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/darcs/cabal-get-bootstrap

And execute the Install.lhs file.  You may have to modify it slightly
if you don't like the defaults.

After you install cabal-get, you should be able to install cabal-put
by saying:
cabal-get update  cabal-get install cabal-put

Darcs repositories for all the tools are here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/darcs/

Questions or problems?  Email me or Lemmih.

peace,

  isaac
