Comment (by guest):

 Replying to [comment:2 duncan]:

 > After that, we'd want to extend cabal-install to keep a per-package
 store of this information and pass it when configuring packages. More
 generally it'd be a store of per-package preferences in addition to the
 current cabal-install config file which is global preferences. That
 enhancement is filed as ticket #223.

 Would it be better if cabal itself read the per-package local preferences
 file, rather than the higher level cabal-install tool?

 That way I could still get the benefits of recording local, per-package
 file locations when I used cabal directly.
