Since hoogle usually works by downloading some databases or source files from Hackage/HaskellWiki, and in Debian we want a hermetic build/install, the `debian/files_hoogle/update_hoogle` script tries to trick hoogle into working fully offline. This doesn't offer the full functionality of hoogle (e.g. full package list is not available), but we do have full local indexing (based on what packages are installed). -- Iustin Pop , Sun, 21 Sep 2014 22:06:10 +0200
