Re: Delay between hackage upload and cabal-install seeing package

2009/5/14 Malcolm Wallace :

Yes, and it is stored locally on your machine.  You must do    cabal update to refresh your local machine cache.

Personally, I would prefer "cabal install" to automatically refresh its own local cache (when appropriate), without this extra step.  If cabal is going to reach out over the net to download package sources, it might as well ensure that it collects the latest version of the index first.

Ah. I assumed that it already did that. Thanks, Alistair
