And likewise, free to contact me if you need help with Darcs. Current keyword status of darcs, git and mercurial: all are ok on alpha, amd64, ppc and x86. darcs and mercurial are ok on ia64 darcs and git are ok on ppc64 and sparc git is ok on hppa and mips hppa should be easy, ghc already works there. We're working on getting ghc working on mips (it works fine on Irix) but no promises. -- Duncan Coutts : Gentoo Developer (Haskell herd team lead) email : dcoutts at gentoo dot org -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
