Hi
Of course, just saying "download the latest version with darcs" isn't useful, either. People that want to use my package shouldn't have to have darcs, and they also shouldn't have to fight with broken development software.
Or should I be telling people to download the GHC 6.6 extralibs source? That doesn't seem quite right either; it's packaged as a tar.bz2, but what would a Windows user with HUGS do? That person probably couldn't even unpack it.
I started doing some work towards this on windows: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/projects/windows.php I found that generally working out of the darcs repo's is both horribly unreliable, but the easiest way to go about it, because its more consistent. Thanks Neil
