@ -7,58 +7,10 @@ Does `cabal sdist` need `cabal.project`?
Perhaps using Distribution.Simple directly?
Idk, I don't understand sdists.
## sources
supporting only tarballs now
- url: https://...
anything curl can handle will work here
- url: file://...
Different versions of the same package can co-exist. The tool will check for name and version collisions.
*Note:* perhaps include hash validation? this can be done later
## revisions?
Files in a special folder
revisions/bar-0.2.0.0.cabal
automatically become revisions for, e.g., package bar version 0.2.0.0
It can be done with hackage-repo-tool update
run_ "hackage-repo-tool" ["update", "--keys", toTextIgnore (_keys config), "--repo", "repo.tmp/", "--verbose"]
Obtaining a package name and version by filename is ok, see https://github.com/haskell/hackage-security/blob/9a5f2d16fc145cbd488c48ab9d177bc3192e303c/hackage-repo-tool/src/Main.hs#L575-L586
*Note:* one could rewrite https://github.com/haskell/hackage-security/blob/9a5f2d16fc145cbd488c48ab9d177bc3192e303c/hackage-repo-tool/src/Main.hs#L196 and do it in one go
## patches
I am not sure whether I want to support patches or not. Basically one could simply fork and point the repo to the new source.
On the otherside, hackage-overlay-repo-tool is made especially for patches so there might be a real need for it.
For the time being,I am not supporting patches.
## output
No more than a directory full of files.
- Can be served over HTTPS
- Served on [ipfs](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-deploy)
- Committed to git
- Can be tar'gzipped and moved
- All of the above
+ nix-compatible hash of the whole thing
## usage
many ways to use this.
### quick and easy
served through https (nginx, s3, GitHub)
