That looks like a communications problem on your end. You can try the failing URL in a regular web browser, which might give you a more detailed error message. If that doesn’t work either then try http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ :-) On 2013-03-01 14:34, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

Does it always fail on the Win32 package?

FWIW, I've just successfully cloned a fresh tree with git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git/ cd ghc ./sync-all --testsuite get Thanks Ian

On the path through todays pain I ended up looking at lots of git config files. I thought the libraries were in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages, but they now seem to be gotten from http://darcs.haskell.org/libraries. Both these directories exist, and I have no idea of the difference. What is the difference, please? Simon

They're symlinked together, so there's no difference. Excerpts from Simon Peyton-Jones's message of Fri Mar 01 09:49:24 -0800 2013:

They're identical; one is a symlink to the other. Thanks Ian

Aha! I've added a note to that effect at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Repositories Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: Ian Lynagh [mailto:ian@well-typed.com] | Sent: 01 March 2013 18:14 | To: Simon Peyton-Jones | Cc: ghc-devs@haskell.org | Subject: Re: I can't clone | | On Fri, Mar 01, 2013 at 05:49:24PM +0000, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote: | > On the path through todays pain I ended up looking at lots of git | config files.
