[Haskell-cafe] Non-hackage cabal source

[Tony Morris]

I am trying to set up an apache server as an additional source to
hackage for haskell packages.

I have added to my ~/.cabal/config file:
remote-repo: myhackage:http://myhackage/packages

I am able to successfully make the HTTP requests:
http://myhackage/packages/00-index.tar.gz
http://myhackage/packages/MyPackage/0.0.1/MyPackage-0.0.1-tar.gz

I can execute:

$ tar -tvf 00-index.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1491 2010-11-03 15:16
./MyPackage/0.0.1/MyPackage.cabal

However, when I try to unpack my package with cabal:
$ cabal unpack MyPackage
Downloading MyPackage-0.0.1...
cabal: Failed to download
http://myhackage/packages/package/MyPackage-0.0.1.tar.gz : ErrorMisc
"Unsucessful HTTP code: 404"

Why is cabal even making this request?
Why is it not making the request to
http://myhackage/packages/MyPackage/0.0.1/MyPackage-0.0.1.tar.gz

Thanks for any tips.
