Re: [Haskell-cafe] cabal update problem?
This is the expected new behavior in cabal 2.0, due to usage of Hackage Security. The new tarball is much larger since it keeps all revisions of a cabal file from all time (though I'm honestly surprised to hear it's 4 times the size). The additional files have to do with new features in Hackage Security, like mirroring and incremental updates. On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 10:35 AM, Jonathon Delgado <voldermort@hotmail.com> wrote:

From ~15Mb to ~60Mb.
The old format also has multiple revisions, it seems to be just the package.jsons (with their uncompressible hashes) that's bloating it.
