correct. Thinking about the build order, building, possibly installing
for the next build, uploading, all that takes time.
Of course there is also that I check for new versions and decide if we
want them (e.g. because older do not build against ghc-7, or its
required by something else we want to update) or not (e.g. because
something wants the older version). If in doubt, I upgrade.
For upgrading, there is a script in tools that pushes a version dump to
darcs, defaulting to the newest version in Hackage.
Greetings,
Joachim
