<div dir="ltr">Hello Simon,<br><br>I agree that this page has a major overlap. I myself added additional libraries recently (time and parallel packages to libraries for GHC RTS parallel profiling testing), and it would have been helpful to have the information from AddingLibsToBuild page. At first, I assumed that additonal libraries would be grabbed like nofib and testsuite with "./darcs-all --testsuite get"; afterwards I did the same as Jost suggested using "darcs get <a href="http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/">http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/</a><name>".<br>
<br>Combining these two pages would decrease overlap and provide clarification, in my opinion.<br>__<br>Donnie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 8:40 AM, Simon Peyton-Jones <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:simonpj@microsoft.com">simonpj@microsoft.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

If the existing page is too big and hard to navigate we could break it up.<br>
