Hoogle Data Fails about cabal2nix HOT 4 CLOSED

Oops, I probably should have posted this on the Ceh issue tracker, I am closing this, I posted this in the wrong window.

from cabal2nix.

Hoogle supports the --datadir flag to override the default location to something that's more appropriate. I guess, Ceh would have to provide that flag when calling Hoogle? I'm not familiar with Ceh, though, so I'm just guessing.

Yes, I intended to submit this bug to ceh, but I didn't realize I grabbed
the wrong browser window. Sorry for the mistake. Ceh does have the an
alternate executable that did the right thing, I posted an issue there and
they have revised the docs. Thanks for telling me about the --datadir flag
though, that is good to know.
