Not Done Inline ActionsOh, I just noticed that it seems to be in the wrong direction. Shouldn't it prioritize extrinsic metadata over intrinsic? vlorentz: Oh, I just noticed that it seems to be in the wrong direction. Shouldn't it prioritize… | ||||||||||||
Done Inline ActionsI think its ok this way. The most accurate data is intrinsic, but sometime author is missing. In this case it falls back to get the username who published new revisions of the package (we use the revisions endpoint to get last update). If getting that username as a fallback does not make sense, let's remove it. franckbret: I think its ok this way. The most accurate data is intrinsic, but sometime author is missing. | ||||||||||||
Not Done Inline Actions
Is it? Usually, extrinsic metadata is provided/validated by the forge, while intrinsic metadata is provided by any package author. So the former is more reliable. Other package loaders prefer extrinsic metadata to build release fields for this reason, so we should also do it here for consistency, unless there is a good reason to special-case Hackage. vlorentz: > The most accurate data is intrinsic
Is it?
Usually, extrinsic metadata is… | ||||||||||||
Not Done Inline ActionsBased on what I see, the extrinsic metadata for a hackage package version contains the username of the hackage account that uploaded the package while intrinsic metadata can provide the fullname of the package author. See for instance the Dish package, returned extrinsic metadata are: $ curl -H "Accept: application/json" https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Dish-0.0.0.6/revisions/ | jq [ { "number": 0, "time": "2017-11-29T13:15:29Z", "user": "zcourts" } ] while the associated cabal file contains the full author name. So I think @franckbret approach is the right one here. anlambert: Based on what I see, the extrinsic metadata for a hackage package version contains the username… | ||||||||||||
Done Inline Actionsyep the hackage extrinsic metadata are the same than intrinsic one. Everything in the hackage server is related to parse .cabal file. We could have use another api endpoint call for each version of a package as extrinsic metadata but its useless as the data is the same. By the way the endpoint that returns the most information about the package is the .cabal file itself. http -b --json https://hackage.haskell.org/package/Dish-0.0.0.6

}In the hackage server everything is parsing the .cabal file. If the cabal file is not valid, one can not upload a new package or revision.
