It suddenly occurs to me that there are other projects in CVS that have not yet been converted to darcs, e.g. Hugs98 and nhc98. Are there plans to do so? If not, then since both of these depend on the libraries tree, there will need to be some other plan to cope with the eventual dropping of the libraries CVS archive.
There are also a bunch of other smaller, more stand-alone projects like cpphs, hat, ohugs, programmatica, timber. The long-term plan for Hat is to depend on the libraries tree, although it does not do so currently. Hugs98 and nhc98 both currently depend on cpphs.
It might be worthwhile someone setting up a mirror from darcs->CVS to keep the libraries CVS tree up to date, to help support these other projects that aren't moving to darcs yet (or at all?). John Goerzen has told me that setting up a reverse mirror should be possible, but not at all trivial - and I think he's already done his fair share for the community by setting up the darcs mirror for fptools :-) So we're looking for a volunteer... Cheers, Simon

The Hugs Makefile fetches the libraries, cpphs and hsc2hs with a cvs command line, which could easily be changed to darcs (though that would add a dependency for building from CVS or creating a source bundle).
