Hi all, As promised, here is a tarball that could possibly become darcs 2.5, so that people making binary packages can make them before the official release. Note that this tarball is not guaranteed to become darcs 2.5: if we find problems in the release candidate 1, we will have to fix them and release another release candidate.
The preview tarball can be found at http://reinier.de/darcs/darcs-2.5- packrelease1.tar.gz. The changes between the source code of 2.5 RC 1 and this packagers' preview can be found in the patch file that is attached. Reinier

The -cabal-install package is also recommended. - -Using GHC 6.10.3 or newer is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. You can compile darcs with -GHC 6.8, but there are several caveats. If you are using 6.8.2 or older, please -disable mmap support (pass -f-mmap to cabal install or runghc Setup configure -below). Note that the GHC 6.8.2 that ships with Debian Lenny is not affected -and it should be safe to keep mmap enabled. It is also recommended to disable -use of Hackage zlib when compiling with GHC 6.8.2 (including the Debian Lenny -version): pass -f-zlib to cabal. When using zlib, we have seen occasional -crashes with error messages like "openBinaryFile: file locked" -- this is a -known GHC 6.8.2 bug (and is fixed in GHC 6.8.3). Last, if you are using a -64-bit system, darcs may hang when you exit a pager when compiled with GHC -older than 6.10.3. Although this is harmless, it is quite inconvenient. +Building Darcs requires GHC, version 6.10.3 or higher. It also requires the +Cabal package, version 1.6 or higher. The cabal-install package is also +recommended. If you have the "cabal-install" package on your system (that is, there is a "cabal" executable in your path), you can use the following command to create [TAG 2.5 Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015143500 Ignore-this: 4eb12d60b0d8e49a25c23944a0263d52 ] < [No longer say that building with GHC 6.8 is possible in README Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015143439 Ignore-this: ad9dacf3241ea1f9aa95d4ee1934c812 ] [Add entry for darcs 2.5 to NEWS file Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015142958 Ignore-this: 5a62717dfc8319fb84e5eaef41f284e8 ] [Bump version number to 2.5 Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015142941 Ignore-this: 4ca98852c3888fd24fcaebcb0a8b91d4 ] [TAG 2.4.99.1 Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015132045 Ignore-this: 4293f06a5a3344bc710b65253ba0c8c1 ] > Context: [TAG 2.4.99.1 Reinier Lamers <tux_roc...@reinier.de>**20101015132045 Ignore-this: 4293f06a5a3344bc710b65253ba0c8c1 ] Patch bundle hash: c001faeecd7989ee1d1436f91a8c0bbde3700428
