I wrote a small cronjob to update my hackage reverse-deps. When checking if it worked I noticed that my hackage appears to be more up-to-date than the real thing! Compare the "What's new" of both: Real hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/recent.html Play thing: http://bifunctor.homelinux.net/~roel/hackage/packages/archive/recent.html At the time of writing this message the newest package on Hackage is dated Tue Jan 12 16:24:18 UTC 2010. The newest on my mirror is Thu Jan 14 20:07:04 UTC 2010. I thought that possibly the recent.html page wasn't being built, but when I follow an actual package, like vacuum-opengl the most recent version on hackage is 0.0.2 while on my mirror it is 0.0.3. Is this a case of data loss or something else?

I believe the Hackage data is being migrated to a new physical server machine (from monk to abbot). This may involve some period of catch-up. Regards, Malcolm

It's in the process of moving to a new (and hopefully more reliable) host.
