Would you feel more comfortable with this upgrade (from zlib 0.4 to 0.5) if we held a snap poll of developers, asking if anybody would actually object to upgrading their zlib? This is for the (likely rare) darcs developer who has installed the Haskell zlib package to make building darcs easier on Windows. Note that upgrading your zlib should consist in: wget http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/zlib/0.5.0.0/zlib-0.5.0.0.tar.gz tar xzvf zlib-0.5.0.0 cd zlib-0.5.0.0 runhaskell Setup configure runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install (for cabal-install users; simply cabal update, then cabal upgrade zlib) Thanks! -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
