[Haskell-cafe] ANN: HackageOneFive: Reverse dependency lookup for all packages on Hackage

[Simon Hengel]

Hello,
I wrote a tiny Snap app that provides reverse dependency lookup for all
packages on Hackage.

A git repository is at:

https://github.com/sol/HackageOneFive

Setup instructions are provide in the README[1] file.

It uses a PostgreSQL database for storage but it should be trivial to
port this to e.g. SQLite.

As always feedback and patches are gladly welcome!

btw: Is there still progress on Hackage 2.0?

Cheers,
Simon

Are you familiar with Roel van Djik's revdep Hackage?
http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/hackage/packages/hackage.html

It's usually quite up to date, and very useful.

Last I heard was that Matt Gruen had done quite a lot of work on it in
the last Summer of Code (see http://cogracenotes.wordpress.com/), but
they haven't got around to actually deploying the new version - but
that was a few months ago.

Cheers,
Max

Not yet, seems to be exactly what I've been locking for. Thanks for the
pointer.

Cheers,
