Add a cabal flag to minimise dependencies #98

Closed ndmitchell closed 9 years ago

ndmitchell commented 9 years ago

Should be possible to build a version of Hoogle which doesn't support server mode and uses less dependencies. A Cabal flag is probably the best way to do that.

nomeata commented 9 years ago

This might also be interesting for distributions packaging hoogle.

ndmitchell commented 9 years ago

@nomeata, how come? Until you wrote that comment, I was tending towards declaring it not worth fixing. The main hassle was for windows users due to the network dependency, but MinGHC solves that.

nomeata commented 9 years ago

I didn’t have a close look (sorry) but less dependencies are always good. Might actually be a non-problem.

ndmitchell commented 9 years ago

I'll consider this a non-issue until someone runs into concrete problems with it.
