Dear Haskellers,
I am pleased to announce that a test instance of the Hackage 2 server is now running at http://new-hackage.haskell.org/
The plan is to test the new server for 3 weeks (until Monday 24 September), before switching over to Hackage 2 for real.
I have some question: Shall we only test the web frontend at http://new-hackage.haskell.org/ or also the access via 'cabal install' and 'cabal upload'? How can I tell 'cabal' to use new-hackage instead of old-hackage temporarily? If I upload a package via 'cabal upload' then it appears at old hackage. Given that we shall test uploading to new-hackage, what happens with packages on September, 24th, that I upload to new-hackage today? Best, Henning
