Why are the version numbers that big?
3000.0.0 3001.0.0 ... 3001.0.4
One (general) problem about different package versions on hackage for me is: the missing documentation of what has actually changed.
Cheers Christian
For historical reasons. The HTTP version numbers used to be date-based, e.g. 2006.11.15. To preserve ordering when we switched to major.minor versions, the numbering started at 3000.0.0. Perhaps we could show darcs change logs on hackage. For this we need a repository field in the .cabal file. /Bjorn
