What commands are you running? Is the above the complete output?
By the way I have also tried
darcs get http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc
but this dies about halfway through (in the patch 10000s ) with libcurl error 18 or libcurl error 404 depending on the phase of the moon.
You're probably best off downloading and untarring: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2007-08-14-ghc-corelibs.tar.bz2 and then "./darcs-all pull -a" to get up-to-date. These are --complete repos. Unfortunately we don't have a tarball that includes the extralibs at the moment, so you'll still need to "./darcs-all --extralibs get" them (either partially or completely).
I'm currently trying a build from darcs checkout with get --partial. If this is the preferred way of doing a checkout
If you don't want to hack on it then --partial is prefered as it's quicker and takes up less disk space.
due to "crapping out halfway" issues
I don't know what's going on there. Thanks Ian
