Hackage

Caching hackage

·3 mins

On sev­eral oc­ca­sions I no­ticed that when per­form­ing a cabal up­date that the in­dex was be­ing down­loaded at the rate of plus min 300 KB/s. Fi­nally I got around to do some­thing about this. I’ve set up a cach­ing server loc­ated in Utrecht, The Neth­er­lands. It is a cach­ing proxy for the hack­age re­pos­it­ory. If you want to use it, add the fol­low­ing to your ~/.cabal/config file. (Or equi­val­ent on Win­dows.)
