HDirect and GHC-6.6

[shelarcy]

Hi Sigbjorn,

Is there any plan to transition from CVS to darcs?

HDirect is removed from darcs'ing fptools, and left cvs long ago.
Because HDirect is not active.

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2005-October/026817.html

But HDirect is updated sometime.
(We can see HDirect moves 'comlib' into a hierarchic setting,
System.Win32.Com.* two month ago.)

And Visual Haskell project changes comlib.
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2006-September/018445.html
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2006-September/018037.html

Unfortunately these changes are independent. It forks comlib now.
So I want to know what is common change both repository and what
is useful change both version, easily.

I think darcs'ing HDirect and two comlib branch realise it. And
that helps to revive Visual Haskell's HDirect that can generate
it's comlib source code.


Best Regards,
