Description

Cabal install accepts references to .cabal files, as well as references to directories containing them. Haskell-flake does not support files yet.

Example:

cabal.project

packages:
  foo/foo.cabal

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how haskell flake processes cabal.project package entries and extend it to handle file references (e.g., foo/foo.cabal) in addition to directory references.
