I changed the ~/.cabal/config file for a fast hackage mirror, so there is no ~/.cabal/hackage.haskell.org/ there. Then cabal2nix will give an error when I try cabal2nix cabal://somepackage.

What can I do?

Add new "--hackage-db=FILEPATH" command line option so that cabal2nix…

… can use Hackage mirrors.

This patch fixes <#68>.

The version 1.66 allows you to run the executable like this:

cabal2nix --hackage-db=$HOME/.cabal/packages/your.mirror.here/00-index.tar cabal://whatever

I hope this helps!

Good! Although I am using the version 1.6.3, I can wait for that!
