Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: darcs 2.1.0 (corrected!)

 Hi all,

 I am delighted to announce the release of darcs 2.1.0, available at

  http://darcs.net/darcs-2.1.0.tar.gz


Yay!

Ubuntu packages at the usual place: https://launchpad.net/~laney/+archive

Note that I inadvertently messed up the version numbering for the
prerelease versions (2.1.0preX  2.1.0 according to dpkg; I should
have used 2.1.0~preX), so apt will not consider the official 2.1.0
packages as being newer than this one. For this reason, I'll attempt
to track the official packages with my numbering scheme when they
appear until such a time as 2.1.1 is released. My apologies for any
inconvenience.

Thanks to the Debian team for providing the initial packaging.

Iain

Hi all,

Packages of this release for Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid are available
in my PPA at [0]. Bugs with the packaging to me, bugs with Darcs not
to me. ;)

Thanks,
Iain

 Hello darcs users,
 
 I am pleased to announce the release of darcs 2.0.0! It's been a long time
 coming, and hopefully you will be pleased with the result.  Notable new
 features include (in no particular order):
 

Hello,

Congrats for getting it out!

I'd just like to let everyone know that I have made packages for Ubuntu Gutsy
and Hardy available from my Launchpad PPA (personal package archive), available
from [1]. These releases are intended only as a band-aid for the impatient
until the official packages come out, or until I have time to talk to the
appropriate people; I haven't tested them thoroughly - all the usual
disclaimers apply ;). That said, they *do* appear to be working fine
from my (very) limited testing.

To install, add the lines given at [1] that correspond to your release to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file, then perform an `apt-get update' and `apt-get
dist-upgrade' or `apt-get install darcs' as appropriate.

It appears that the same package builds on Debian unstable (sid), but I
don't have a system available to test it on.

Please let me know of any problems, and I will endeavour to fix them. I
am on IRC as Laney.

Thanks all,
Iain

I don't mean to diminish the seriousness of your message, but why is
the salary range so exact? Couldn't you have just rounded the upper
bound to 32,768 for the sake of readability?

Bryan


I would imagine that they come from the University's salary scales[1]. 
As for why the salaries on there are so exact, that's anyone's guess.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Ideas

 - Blogging software. (Because there isn't enough of it in the world yet.)

In addition (because a little competition can't help ;), I'm going to
be experimenting with writing a blog engine for my final year project
at Uni next year - 2007/08. Hopefully some good will come of it, i.e.
something that people (I) can actually use. It'll probably be more
blog less CMS than Hope. At the minute I'm looking at using HAppS for
most of it. Should be fun!

Iain

ps. Sorry for the spam Andrew.
