I'm quite aware of that, but the script is not 100% finished yet. Anyway, we 
will need *all* packages on Hackage for "release" checkouts, but there are 
currently a few missing (base, template-haskell, ObjectIO and a fourth one I 
can't remember currently). Could someone upload these in the meantime?

I noticed that the set of core packages for nhc98 is a bit different than the 
set for GHC/Hugs. What's the reason for this?

A final note: Although it is a good thing that each repository (GHC/Hugs/nhc) 
has its own package-list file, it is a bit ugly that they will have identical 
copies of darcs-all. Although this is much better than 3 totally different 
scripts, it is not nice from a maintenance point of view. Any ideas?

Cheers,
   S.
