There's a tar-ball served from http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/hackage.html (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/archive.tar) which contains the latest version of all packages. I think that's what the OP is using. Downloading a 150MB tar-ball shouldn't take many hours, if you're on a decent connection. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
