Re: [Haskell-cafe] Help test XDG support in cabal-install

Is there a migration path for converting to the new layout? The above makes clear what happens to `~/.cabal/config` but only hints about what I should do with other paths (e.g. `~/.cabal/store`). Or is the preferred migration path to move the config file and nuke (or move out of the way, as a backup) everything else?

Yes, nuke everything else. It'll require recompilation, but some of the Cabal devs expressed doubt that the store is even relocatable at all, as it may embed file paths (possibly in the hashes). -- \ Troels /\ Henriksen
