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?

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

Ah, that's a convincing reason not to have done it.
You should be able to perform the equivalent operation with darcs 2.3, but it won't be in-place: darcs get <repo name> --hashed --complete <temporary repo name> (copy over any prefs? I haven't tried this part) rm -rf <repo> mv <temporary repo name> <repo name> It's that second step that might prove a bummer. CC'ing the darcs mailing list in case I'm totally wrong. Antoine
