Also, note that Lenny has 6.8, and it is scheduled to become stable Real Soon Now.

That's irrelevant. Lenny going stable will not cause my servers to automatically get upgraded.

FWIW, the experimental server is scheduled to switch to lenny in the summer of 2009. There is no ETA for the production servers, which tend to be managed more conservatively still.

But surely if you have such conservative upgrade practices you also only run stable releases of darcs right? All the existing stable releases build on ghc6.6.

I was not sufficiently clear in my original question. My question really only applies to people who build from the darcs.net respository. HEAD as some people might call it.

No, darcs is buggier than the average code, and it's reasonable to want those bugs fixed, even on stable servers. David
