fedora
June 10, 2015
Force cabal upload to always use digest auth and never basic auth Note this only affects uploading of new source tarballs to Hackage by Haskell upstream package maintainers
Summary
The 'cabal' command-line program simplifies the process of managing Haskell
software by automating the fetching, configuration, compilation and
installation of Haskell libraries and programs from Hackage.
Update Information:
Force cabal upload to always use digest auth and never basic auth
Note this only affects uploading of new source tarballs to Hackage by Haskell upstream package maintainers. It is safer to upload packages via the Hackage web interface.
