I'm a huge fan of darcs repositories, BTW.
Hmmm, as the OpenGL/GLUT/OpenAL/ALUT guy I have to admit that I should really, really update the web pages about those packages. But anyway: Asking on any Haskell mailing list (there is even one especially for the OpenGL/GLUT packages) normally gives you fast response times. Without even knowing that there is a problem, there is nothing I can fix. :-) And don't hesitate to ask questions about the usage of those packages, because this is valuable feedback, too. Regarding the repository: The normal fptools repository is the "official" one for those packages. But IIRC, most GHC binary packages include OpenGL/GLUT support, so there is normally no urgent need for a home-made version. All packages are already cabalized, but I have to admit that I have never tried to build them on their own.
