packages, packages, packages
Here's a little graph of xmonad users on debian, since Joachim's package a couple of weeks ago: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=xmonad%2C+stumpwm&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 which just goes to show how important it is to get packages of your code into the main distros. The good news is that in the darcs branch xmonad can now be built and distributed as a binary, and uses ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs for configuration -- so the package maintainers job is a *lot* easier. So, if you're involved in packaging for your distro, have a look at the darcs branch, and start thinking how to roll a binary package for xmonad! :) -- Don

I should be able to start packaging xmonad for Slackware very shortly (and it should be distributed by a quite important slackware package repository: slacky.it). Together with a collection of haskell utilities (basically ghc, the extra-libs and the needed xmonad dependencies). In the meantime if there are slackware users wanting to try out the new 6.8.1 here you go: http://gorgias.mine.nu/slack/haskell/ xmonad darcs will not compile under it since it requires some new packages.
