+# This script is used to regenerate nixpkgs' Haskell package set, using a tool
+# called hackage2nix. hackage2nix looks at
+# pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix.yaml and generates
+# a Nix expression for package version specified there, using the Cabal files
+# from the Hackage database (available under all-cabal-hashes) and its
+# companion tool cabal2nix.
+#
+# Related scripts are update-hackage.sh, for updating the snapshot of the
+# Hackage database used by hackage2nix, and update-cabal2nix-latest.sh,
+# for updating the version of hackage2nix used to perform this task.
