Re: [Haskell-cafe] Local mirrors of hackage

3 Mar 2016

      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.
