| This will cause repository X to be consulted first for any given version of a package, but allow other versions to come from Hackage. For example, if `X` contains `A-1` and `A-2`, and Hackage contains `A-2` and `A-3`, then `A-1` and `A-2` will be taken from `X`, but `A-3` can be taken from Hackage. ([Here is the documentation](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.6/cabal-project.html) for active-repositories; oddly, the list is searched last-to-first.) | ||

| We refer to this style of additional repository as a**Hackage overlay**, since it provides a way to _override_ specific versions of packages which appear in Hackage, while using Hackage for everything else normally. |
