The current screened and reviewed repos both fail to build with Debian stable's ghc-4.7.1: $ cabal build Building darcs-2.9.9... Preprocessing library darcs-2.9.9... src/Darcs/UI/Options/All.hs:1:31: Unsupported extension: LambdaCase I don't know if that's intentional, but I think Debian stable should be a portability baseline.

Thanks for the report - this was unintentional and is easily fixed. We will be supporting GHC 7.4 in the 2.10 release, but will probably drop it from HEAD at some point in the not too distant future. By the time 2.12 appears presumably there'll be a new Debian stable.
