| 2026-04-16 01:31:35 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I have $HOME/.cache/cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/01-index.tar.gz but I use XDG mode. it'll be under $HOME/.cabal in old mode. don't know where Windows puts it |

| 2026-04-16 01:28:03 +0000 | <drbean> | Good to know. |
| 2026-04-16 01:27:45 +0000 | <drbean> | OK. 'cabal update' isn't a pressing issue. |
| 2026-04-16 01:27:03 +0000 | <geekosaur> | if it fails, obviously you won't see new versions of things, but you can still instaall and switch between versions it kn ows about via the cached file. cabal also continues to work if `cabal update` (after the very first one) fails, it just won't know about newer packages |
| 2026-04-16 01:27:00 +0000 | <drbean> | If it can, I will use curl to download https://hackage.haskell.org/.../01-index.tar.gz. Where doesit put the 01-index tarball? |

| 2026-04-16 01:25:57 +0000 | <geekosaur> | ghcup, on the other hand, only deals with a handful of tools and gets information about those from a yaml file which it tries to update periodically |

| 2026-04-16 01:24:59 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I'm not sure what you think is going on there. the cached file already has its associated indiexes. what it doesn't have is any new uploads to Hackage |

| 2026-04-16 01:23:48 +0000 | <drbean> | Can cabal build the index from a cached file, like ghcup can for installing hls, etc? |

| 2026-04-16 01:21:51 +0000 | <geekosaur> | and then indexes that; actual updates happen later when packages are (re)built, but the index's contents inform the solver for picking versions of packages/dependencies |
| 2026-04-16 01:20:37 +0000 | <geekosaur> | it downloads an 01-index.tar.gz which as a complete index of hackage's contents' cabal files |
| 2026-04-16 01:19:44 +0000 | <drbean> | But the broken installation process with ghcup and cabal is something I want to fix |
| 2026-04-16 01:19:12 +0000 | <geekosaur> | that's not what cabal update does anyway. (also -v3 might have it) |
| 2026-04-16 01:18:32 +0000 | <drbean> | This 'cabal update' is not particularly pressing. |

| 2026-04-16 01:17:15 +0000 | <drbean> | And then install from the cache with 'ghcup --cache install hls' etc. |
| 2026-04-16 01:16:27 +0000 | <drbean> | 'ghcup' does, so as workaround, I download the hls, cabal, stack tarballs to ghcup's cache dir. |
| 2026-04-16 01:15:06 +0000 | <drbean> | Sorry 'cabal -v update' |
