#271: The index page should link to a package, not a package version
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: HackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2
Platform: |
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
The index page (http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html)
should link to packages (i.e. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-
scripts/package/haskell-src-exts), not particular package versions
(http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/haskell-src-
exts-0.3.3).
This will decrease teh number of people who pass around outdated URL's, as
its rare people want a particular version of a package -- usually they
want the most recent version.
