fps as a package only exists as a seperate darcs repo for those systems that don't have bytestrings in base. I.e. older GHC's, and nhc98 (not Hugs or GHC 6.6).
Does that help clear things up? Effectively there is *no* fps package really -- its suppposed to be part of base, as ghc and hugs have it.
Hmmm, why does nhc98 explicitly retrieve the fps package from your repo then? It retrieves the same base package as GHC and Hugs, which should contain fps already. Malcolm? Cheers, S.
