Plan for Hackage #74

Raw

plan-74.markdown

haskell/hackage-server#74

haskell/cabal#1189

Fix cabal to generate reports for candidates
Fix build client
- Use list from from http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/candidates/docs
- Change "failed" list to use upload date
  - Have the build client download packages itself, rather than calling Cabal?
    - Probably not: an extra HEAD request isn't that bad, and depending on an unreleased version of cabal-install isn't great
    - This depends on haskell/cabal#2025
  - HEAD /package/PKGID/PKGID.tar.gz
    - 200 OK => check Last-Modified; if later than saved date than build again
  - See http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HTTP-4000.2.17/docs/Network-HTTP.html
