Comment #2 on issue 600 by Ian...@gmail.com: conflicting install instructions https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=600 Having different ways of installing is great. There is just a little confusing inconsistency going on. And I actually wasn't super clear in my bug. Let me clarify. Background: http://xmonad.org/download.html is where users are funneled from the main page, it appears to overview the install methods, and leads users on to http://xmonad.org/intro.html which appears to be the complete documentation on install. 1. download.html says "After you've downloaded, follow the install instructions (link to intro.html)", then on intro.html, the tarbal you downloaded is never mentioned. So either remove the mention of downloading manually from hackage, or have an instruction which involves xmonad-<version>.tar.gz on intro.html. I still don't know how you would install the tarball. cabal install xmonad-<version>.tar.gz? The download link on hackage is not the easiest to find (at the bottom of the page), so I'd prefer steering people to the simpler cabal install <name> method. 2. intro.html should mention the "cabal install http://code.haskell.org/xmonad/xmonad.tar.gz" method which was first mentioned on the download.html page or else it's confusing (this first page said I could do this, and now this other page looks like it's meant to cover everything, but it doesn't say I can do this). If this makes sense, I can write a patch and do a PR on github. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
