This could be a nice feature and not hard to implement, maybe someone could take it up?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/4/7 José Pedro Magalhães <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jpm@cs.uu.nl">jpm@cs.uu.nl</a>&gt;</span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Yes, I have that tarball. I just don&#39;t know how to tell cabal-install to use it. Going to each package, individually unpacking and installing it is what I&#39;ve been doing so far, but I was hoping that could be automated.<br>

&gt; Local copy ?<br>
&gt; You know that hackage is hosting several thausands of source archives -<br>
&gt; also old versions you don&#39;t want?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Do you want to mirror everything locally?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Fetching &quot;latest&quot; versions only to generate hashes takes many hours.<br>

(<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/archive.tar" target="_blank">http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/archive.tar</a>) which<br>
contains the latest version of all packages.  I think that&#39;s what the<br>
OP is using.  Downloading a 150MB tar-ball shouldn&#39;t take many hours,<br>
if you&#39;re on a decent connection.<br>
