Yes, just did a ./darcs-all pull to verify that.  What error(s) are you getting?

One other thing that tripped me up before: I forgot to run "make
distclean" before pulling patches, and some preprocessed files were
not removed (e.g., compiler/ghci/LibFFI.hs which is generated from
LibFFI.hsc).  Since Cabal now stores the generated .hs file somewhere
else, the leftover file wasn't automatically cleaned anymore, and
confused the build system.  Removing the extra .hs file and running
make again fixed the problem.
