They just use the latest version in the darcs repositories at the time
I've had no luck contacting Dean Herington using the email address posted on the HUnit page. that they are built Sounds like this is the first case where the latest version isn't a stable one (Go Haskell!). Is it much trouble for package maintainers to package GHC with HUnit.1.1.1? To keep it simple, maybe there should be an HUnitStable branch where 1.1.1 is the latest version? Thanks, Greg

Sorry, I've not been able to follow the Haskell lists very regularly recently. I'll try look into the problem soon. Dean At 10:46 AM -0800 12/10/07, Greg Fitzgerald wrote:
