Re: Continue DHG work?



Hi group.

Sorry for not replying to this message earlier.  I hope my reasons for not
replying become clear in this reply.

I think experimental is a much better idea before the release.

I don't see much point in working with ghc6 if ghc 7 is coming.

Doing two sourceful uploads of the stack doesn't seem like a good option for
me.  On the other hand, uploading directly to unstable also doesn't sound
good.

There's also the problem of the darcs repositories and PET, that would have to
be set up for experimental.  So I thought that maybe I would wait for the
release before starting to work on these packages.

But as I don't want to suggest anyone to don't do what they want, I refrained
myself from sending this e-mail.  Please feel free to go ahead, despite my
opinions on the subject.

Greetings.
