bglgwyng	I'm trying to let Nix fetch index-tarball and cabal use it. `repository hackage.haskell.org url: file://${./01-index.tar.gz}` But it didn't work. Has anyone tried something similar?	12:56:25
bglgwyng	I read https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.4/installing-packages.html this page, and I don't even sure that it's possible to configure a repository only with the index tarball only.	12:56:50
bglgwyng	I just tried `url: file://${repo}` which contains 00-index.tar.gz and got `> cabal-install version 3.14.2.0 > compiled using version 3.14.2.0 of the Cabal library > Warning: Caught exception during _mirrors lookup:res_query: does not exist > (Connection refused) > Warning: No mirrors found for > file:///nix/store/7kry9ps6yridc97gpp4kp8vcd99vlnyx-repo > /nix/store/7kry9ps6yridc97gpp4kp8vcd99vlnyx-repo/root.json: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)`	13:42:39
