The network library moved from hslibs/net to libraries/network after version 5.02.x. libraries/network/Network/Socket.hsc is what used to be hslibs/net/SocketPrim.hsc. The contents of hslibs/net is now just stubs that re-export the new libraries, so someone using the old interface still gets the same stuff. Ok but in that case the revisions and branches reported by cvs stat seem to be different than those in the web page. For example, cvs stat reports ghc-5-02-2 as revision 1.12.2.4 but the web page only has a revision 1.12. How do the web pages tie up with what you get from cvs checkout? > I think from what you said in one of your previous emails that I need to > build the whole of ghc. Am I correct?
