I just "darcs sent" it, although there may be a problem with my system so I'll try emailing it manually if it doesn't go through. > I was saddened when I saw my arrow keys had begun to dump garbage into patch > names > again. Actually, the terminfo flag is only used for coloring of output; the behavior you're describing is probably due to the haskeline flag being off by default in darcs' Cabal file. However, that surprised me a little since haskeline is still enabled by default in configure.ac; was there a reason for the change? If there's no objection, I can send another patch to reenable haskeline by default. -Judah _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
