Hi,
$ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/ Converting old-fashioned repository to hashed format... ******************************************************************************* Fetching a hashed repository would be faster. Perhaps you could persuade the maintainer to run darcs optimize --upgrade with darcs 2.4.0 or higher? *******************************************************************************
Can I?
Cheers, Daniel
Not as of a few weeks ago; the ?.h.o server(s) only have darcs 2.3 or something, without the optimize --upgrade option. (I looked into whether I could surreptitiously do it for xmonad-contrib. Short of uploading my own darcs binary, I couldn't.) -- gwern
