Ash, just introducing you to Florian, our Mac package manager Florian: would it be any trouble for you to put a darcs 2.5.2 binary on the wiki? We have darcs 2.8 coming up but I think there are some unresolved issues to get through.

The MacPorts darcs is also slow to install due to building GHC If I understand correctly, the GHC and Haskell Platform formulas on just fetch a binary. Ash: Since you have Ruby-fu, how about brew creating a darcs formula for us? A reasonable route, I think would be for it to depend on Haskell Platform and cabal install a particular darcs version (eg, `cabal install darcs-2.5.2`) It could then automagically copy/link the resulting binary from $HOME/Library/Haskell/bin or $HOME/.cabal/bin > * This has happened to me.

See Owen's blog off http://planet.darcs.net We may have some tentative steps towards making it easier for Darcs users to use GitHub -- Eric Kow <http://erickow.com>
