I am trying to fetch wxHaskell with the command darcs get --lazy http://code.haskell.org/wxhaskell/ but there are much too little files downloaded; what could be the problem?

I'm working on Windows XP, both in an MS-DOS shell and an MSYS shell. Installed Darcs version: 2.8.1

Could you be more specific? The point of --lazy *is* to fetch very few files, so as described, it's working as it should...

I get the same files, with or without --lazy, they are: wxhaskell_3>dir /s/b wxhaskell_3\darcs916 wxhaskell_3\darcs916-new_be8f187acbc53e7192167af035fde402 wxhaskell_3\_darcs wxhaskell_3\_darcs\format wxhaskell_3\_darcs\hashed_inventory wxhaskell_3\_darcs\patches wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs wxhaskell_3\_darcs\pristine.hashed wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\binaries wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\boring wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\defaultrepo wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\motd wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\repos wxhaskell_3\_darcs\pristine.hashed\e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html Haskell programming --

Albert Einstein said: Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I repeated the command today and it worked!

So, did you expect the result to be different, or did you re-try just to confirm that it doesn't work? Stefan

Certainly! My favourite example is : sex. Jerzy Karczmarczuk
