[darcs-devel] Update for installing darcs OpenBSD binaries.

[Christoph R. Murauer]

Hello !

I saw, that at http://darcs.net/Binaries in the section OpenBSD is a
link to ports / openports.se which is not needed.

Long story short, in OpenBSD ports are packages and vice versa.

To install darcs on OpenBSD the command

pkg_add darcs

is enough (no ports are needed). This installs darcs 2.12.5 on -stable
and / or -current. Sure, you can build it from ports but, there are no
benefits and, in ports you dont find the latest version which you can
build using cabal.

To build the latest darcs version you could use

pkg_add ghc cabal-install
cabal update && cabal install darcs

But keep in mind, to run cabal you have to set WXALLOWED and ulimit
otherwise the build will fail.

Maybe that helps.

Regards,

Christoph
