Re: [Haskell-cafe] Local mirrors of hackage

Aha, I figured out the problem. I needed to add the lines remote-repo: myname:file://path-to-hackage remote-repo-cache: cache-file to my ~/.cabal/config Now it works fine. I wish that the instructions were a little less obscure. Victor On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 12:26 PM, Victor Miller wrote:

Hi John, I just got around to installing the downloaded hackage mirror, and I noticed that its structure is different than the one that I downloaded last June -- in the old one there are files

00-index.cache 00-index.tar and a bunch of subdirectories, one per package. Within each of those is a version subdirectory which contains a cabal file and a tar.gz file of the package files.

In the new one there are files 00-checksums.bak 00-checksums.dat 00-index.tar.gz

and a directory called package

That directory contains directories called package-name-version and a corresponding file called package-name-version.tar.gz

one for each package and version

My version of cabal 1.22 doesn't understand that. Do I need a new version of cabal, or do I have to process the files somehow?

John, Thanks very much for hackage-mirror. I'm running it now and it appears to be working as advertised. Thanks to everyone else who responded.

I committed a fix very recently to the 'pipes' branch that you may need, since there is one package on Hackage that is missing and thus cannot be downloaded.
