I've been trying to build ghc head from the darcs repo using these instructions:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources

Unfortunately, when I do

./darcs-all --extra get

as described under "Getting more packages" it fails because the darcs-all script doesn't recognize the --extra option. Was this removed recently, and if so, how do I achieve the same effect?

The --extra flag was removed recently, I've just updated the wiki pages to match. Thanks for spotting it. (in the future, posting to glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org will make it more likely we'll notice your message). Cheers, Simon
