A cabal sandbox with 'add-source' might help here.

If your directory tree looks something like:

   /whatever/customgloss
   /whatever/yourproject

Then you could do:

   cd /whatever/yourproject
   cabal sandbox init
   cabal sandbox add-source ../customgloss
   cabal install

If your code in 'customgloss' changes, then calling again 'cabal install'
in 'yourproject' will rebuild 'customgloss'.

But you might rethink if copying 'gloss' that way is really a good long term solution.


Greetings,
Daniel
