[...] look over the the source file at GitHub that defines the release see if the version of your stuff looks right
The OpenGLRaw and GLUTRaw versions are OK, for OpenGL and GLUT we should use newer versions I just released (OpenGL-2.12.0.0 and GLUT-2.7.0.0). These contain much requested API additions/generalizations. Furthermore, due to other popular requests like generalizing things and making OpenAL stuff independent from OpenGL, I split off improved StateVar (thanks to Edward Kmett!) and ObjectName packages again, which are now additional dependencies. This move was made in spite of all those bikeshedding discussions around them, because several actual package users requested them. ("Listen to your customers!") I simply don't want to be held back by eternal theoretical discussions anymore, instead let's ship what people actually want.
[...] look near the end where there is a bunch of stuff I kinda just added to get it all to compile [...]
As mentioned above, we need StateVar-1.1.0.0 and ObjectName-1.1.0.0 now, too. A +1 for including exceptions, but why version 0.6.1, which is quite old? I would propose including the latest and greatest 0.8.0.2 version. <rant>Regarding the random packages: Shipping 2 packages for basically the same thing is silly IMHO and a bad sign for something which claims to be a coherent set of APIs. Either these packages should be merged or the dependencies adapted. Offering choice for the same task has no place in the platform IMHO, we should ship what is considered the best/most widely used for each area. For the more arcane needs, there's always Hackage...</rant>
