Does "excluded from the package list" mean that deprecated packages won't show up on http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html ? If so, how does one go about finding and downloading deprecated packages? Rely on the search function to find the package page? How do you get a comprehensive list of the deprecated packages that have existed? Perhaps there should be a deprecated-pkg-list.html page. If being superseded implies deprecation this page is also where the superseded packages would go, with appropriate supersedes/superseded-by links between them. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
