So, the Right Way(TM) to make cabal-install go through proxies is fixing `userinfo' function of `network' package (see the `network-2.2.0.1.patch').
Good work. We should have this reviewed by the maintainers of the network package.
Until then, we should have a workaround in `cabal-install' (cabal-install-0.6.0.patch). I do.
Thanks, I'll apply that patch. Looking at the code it looks like it will not break when the proper fix is applied to the url code in the network package. Do you agree?
It will not break. It will degrade from "savior" into "harmless cruft". And when we are sure that `network' package is fixed, we should revert `cabal-install-0.6.0.patch'. Thank you, Duncan! -- vvv
