If you are talking about the new hackage server then the code is here: http://code.haskell.org/hackage-server/ It should work though it is not feature complete. Patches gratefully accepted. The build reporting should work with the current cabal-install, though again it needs some polishing. Nothing especially difficult, it's primarily a lack of developer time. We've got too many "high priority" TODO items. We are spread too thin across the projects: Cabal, cabal-install, hackage-server, haskell-platform. More helpers are required. Your Haskell needs you!
