With the current situation I have just uploaded Hoogle, which worked,
even thought I couldn't check the package.

The Hoogle package displays fine:
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/hoogle-4.0.0.5

But now the main page seems to be down:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/pkg-list.html - is that my
fault?

Thanks

Neil
