New patches:
[add README to warn about autoreconf cdsmith@twu.net**20070601175527] { addfile ./README hunk ./README 1 +To build this package using Cabal directly from darcs, you must run +"autoreconf" before the usual Cabal build steps (configure/build/install). +autoreconf is included in the GNU autoconf tools. There is no need to run +the "configure" script: the "setup configure" step will do this for you.
This is really up to Christopher as the regex-posix maintainer, but we should probably try to be consistent between Cabal packages here, i.e. this sort of thing ought to be in the same place in any Cabal darcs checkout.
I'll take a look at the patches.
I don't think README is the best name, as some Cabal packages will want to put README into the source tarball. Perhaps README.darcs?
Incidentally, regex-posix gives TextRegexLazy@personal.mightyreason.com as its maintainer but "darcs send" goes to libraries@haskell.org; is that what you want to happen, Christopher?
The @personal.mightyreason.com address is my own. regex-* were my first darcs releases. And I have only gotten 1 other patch before this, and so I have not carefully set things up. As regex-posix is now part of the GHC release I think patches should not be sent to an address where only I will see them. Is there a better choice than libraries@haskell.org for that?
