Datapoint I've just been informed of: Systems that track haskell-platform aren't allowed to ship zlib 0.5.1.0 because the current haskell-platform requires the EXACT version 0.5.0. The only exceptions are systems like cabal which allow the same package to have multiple versions available concurrently. http://bugs.debian.org/538098 _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
