#759: please clarify/document --remote-repo ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: claus | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by duncan): I think the better solution for this use case is ticket #524 which is about making this possible: {{{ cabal install http://code.haskell.org/~user/foo/foo-0.9.tar.gz }}} The problem with `--remote-repo` for this use case is that it creates a persistent local cache, which is not what you would want for a one-off command. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/759#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
