Thanks for the fantastic cabal-dev tool!

You're welcome!

Is there any convenient way to save changes to the package-specific cabal config file in cabal-dev? .... The only solution I have found so far is to run cabal-dev install once (ignoring the errors) to create the cabal-dev directory and cabal.config, make a copy of cabal.config with a different name, edit it as needed, and then use a long-winded "--config=..." option for every subsequent run cabal-dev.

That is currently the only way to do this :(. One workaround is to create an alias for cabal-dev that adds that flag. e.g., in Bash: alias cabal-dev = 'cabal-dev --config=cabal.config ' Then you can have a cabal.config next to your project cabal file and it will use that. To bypass the alias, just prefix it with "\", e.g.: $ \cabal-dev We're working on the first problem -- it's just a matter of finding the time. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen for another week or two. The ticket is here: https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev/issues#issue/15 --Rogan

The changes I need to make are as follows:

- remote-repo-cache is wrong for Mac OS X - add more remote-repo lines for our local  yackage servers.

Note that the first is global, so it would be nice to have a way to make that change once globally for all packages. Whereas the second is, in general, package specific.

We find local yackage servers much simpler to use and far more powerful than using add-source. You can organize packages by project, team, specific developers, etc.

Thanks, Yitz
