Hello,

     It seems to me that Hackage doesn't provide version control, e.g. check out and check in. Am I incorrect?

Hackage is, AFAIU, a repository where _released_ versions of libraries/tools/etc related to Haskell can be kept. It is not fully comparable to SourceForge, Github, or any other _source hosting_ service.

If you are looking for source hosting then take a look at SF, Github, Google Code, or something like that. Then upload _released_ versions to Hackage. IIRC there is also the possibility of having a Darcs repo on community.haskell.org.

Yes, and darcs repos can also be hosted on patch-tag.com. community.haskell.org requires you to wait for a volunteer to review every new project request. Although, you don't need to make a project request if you only want a 1-developer repository. And by the way, it only hosts Haskell-related projects, not arbitrary darcs repositories. patch-tag.com doesn't have those constraints. -- Robin
