Description

We should extend archive coverage to the Hackage package archive for Haskell.

They have a package that knows the mirror structure and comes with a front-end CLI tool to keep a mirror up to date (on S3, but it can be hacked to work with a local mirror). It might be a useful starting point.

Thanks to Joey Hess and Clint Adams for their heads up and help on this!

update from joeyh, there is no need for any specific hack to maintain a local mirror, it is just an undocumented feature:

joey@darkstar:~/tmp/orig/hackage-mirror-0.1.1.1>dist/build/hackage-mirror/hackage-mirror --from http://hackage.haskell.org/ --to localdir
