Here is what cabal update outputs:
Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal: out of memory (requested 2097152 bytes)
The reason may be shortage of memory. What about tail 00-index.cache?
pkg: charade 0.1 b# 46384
pkg: charset 0.0 b# 46390
pkg: charset 0.1 b# 46393
pkg: charset 0.2.0 b# 46396
pkg: charset 0.2.1 b# 46399
pkg: charset 0.2.2 b# 46402
pkg: charset 0.2.3 b# 46405
pkg: charset 0.3 b# 46408
pkg: charset 0.3.0.1 b# 46412
I can have 00-index.tar.gz downloaded easily and have 00-index.tar untared. However, because of out of memory, I cannot generate the cache file! Can cabal generate 00-index.cache locally in an cheap way?
