Right now darcs appear to be a burden to me because I have to maintain it as well when working with many haskell packages. Today I spend some more time improving the hack-nix system. Now I can even fetch and update darcs libraries automatically. However one point is bothering me: darcs is using base-3 by default. Using most up to date versions on hackage there is no solution to build darcs without tweaking many .cabal files. This is all due the base-3 constraint. So what about dropping it and going base4? What's the reason for not having done it yet? The patch file I posted earlier already contained a quick hack using CPP to use Control.Exception or Control.OldExceptions depending on base version. It seemed to work. However there is anther alternative: Using extensible excpetion package from hackage. Then the new Exceptions can be used with base3 as well AFAIK. What do you prefer? How would you make darcs work with base4 ? I'm interested learning more about FRP. So discuss base 4 with me and we can see how much I can help.
