This is true, but you know, if you order software from Amazon (or worse, through your employer's purchasing department) it will take 36 to 72 hours to arrive. GHC might take 8 hours to build on a 4-year-old 1.33GHz iBook G4 with 1.5GB of RAM ... start the build before you hit the sack and Darcs will be ready in the morning, and you don't even have to suffer because FreeCell runs slow while you're waiting. ;-) Perhaps more annoying to some is the need for an uptodate Xcode as well as MacPorts. If you need to install a ton of ports to get to that point, that could be very painful. Still it only needs to happen once. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
