:) I hope it will mean that in the very near future. That is, once the eb=
uild=20
is in Gentoo CVS. I'm currently waiting for that to happen, but they're=20
probably still waiting for their compile to finish... ;^)

Hm. No. Ebuilds are the fundament of Portage, the central Gentoo Linux pa=
ckage=20
system, which is directly available to anyone running Gentoo Linux. Maybe=
 you=20
can add a comment saying that all Gentoo users with a recent Portage tree=
 can=20
now simply 'emerge ghc' for much Haskell fun. But, wait with that until t=
he=20
ebuild enters CVS. I'll make a seperate announcement to this liste once=20
that's happened.


So long,
