Attached is the ebuild file for darcs 0.9.11. It works fine here, but I'd appreciate it if somebody else could try the build. I'm particularly interested in whether the build succeeds on a machine without LaTeX ... or not.

I was already working on it, so I will take it. (Peter, you should have notified me :) )
I've more or less committed my own ebuild. Maybe you can test whether it works for you. The only problem with yours is that the config file decides to build the manual depending on whether tetex/latex2html is already installed. Instead, this should be configurable by the user. I've made documentation installation configurable via the "doc" USE flag. If set, then the package really depends on tetex and latex2html. If "-doc" is set, then no docs are built, even if tetex and latex2html are installed. Thanks very much. I surely would have let my ebuild lying around on my disk for a while longer if it had not been for this report. Andres
Hey Andreas, I'll be sure to copy anything Haskell to you in the future. :-) As for the documentation: I didn't go for the 'doc' flag, because I wanted to have the documentation installed in _any_ case. For this, I was lobbying to David to include built versions of the docs in the release archive, so that I can just copy them in case LaTeX is not available. But 'doc' is probably the better solution ... so never mind. :-) I'll test the build as soon as it shows up an my hard disk. (emerce sync is running right now.)
Just tried it: The ebuild works fine.
