Having both repos is starting to hurt now, it's a fiddle to move patches from darcs to CVS to commit them. So I want to throw the switch ASAP; I'm pretty certain we've dealt with any blocking problems now. So once we've got the libraries re-tailored, and tested the nightly builds with the new setup, I think we could switch.
I've talked to Simon about this, and here's what we've agreed I will do: * I will re-convert all of the top-level directories in the current libraries darcs repo, except for: doc, mk, and Cabal * Each new repo will be under darcs.haskell.org/packages * I will convert HEAD only and not the ghc-6.4 branch. Simon plans to continue using CVS for ghc-6.4 anyway. * Simon will integrate the few remaining top-level files into the GHC repo. * Someone (maybe me) will write some scripts to automate checking out and updating all these repos at once. I hope to get this all done within the next few days, maybe even today. -- John
