While editing some pages on the wiki, I noticed that the "preview"
button had a different padding than the "save" and "discard" ones. I was
about to submit a patch to gitit, when I realized that this had already
been fixed in https://github.com/jgm/gitit/pull/354 -- included in gitit
since 0.10.3.1, https://github.com/jgm/gitit/commit/eda6e08, released
over two years ago. The latest release (at the time of writing) is
0.12.0.1, from 24 August 2015, so besides the fix above, there are
probably several other advantages to upgrading, as described in
https://github.com/jgm/gitit/blob/master/CHANGES.

A +1 on this :)

The only gitit version available on Debian Squeeze is 0.7. I think Ganesh
was in the process of upgrading the darcs.net box, but even with the
upgrade to Wheeze, the available version will be 0.10.
Should we just compile our own gitit binary?

Jessie now includes gitit version 0.10.4-2
(https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gitit&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all),
so the upgrade should be possible now :)

I explored a little as an ordinary user. Some notes:

darcs.net is running debian squeeze (2011), and the last package installation was in 2015. It has ghc-
7.4.1 installed. It is running gitit 0.10.0.1, installed in 2012. It has only 0.5G of ram, which is not 
enough for building haskell packages easily.

I was able to build an up-to-date cabal-install: /home/simonmichael/.cabal/bin/cabal .

I could not build the current gitit, for two reasons:

1. while building cmark, gcc runs out of memory. I don't know how to limit gcc memory use.

$ cabal install cmark --ghc-options='+RTS -M200m -RTS' +RTS -M200m -RTS
Preprocessing library cmark-0.5.5.1...
[1 of 1] Compiling CMark            ( dist/build/CMark.hs, dist/build/CMark.o )
gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)

2. while building foundation, this error happens, probably needs a newer version of some C lib:

Building foundation-0.0.6...
Preprocessing library foundation-0.0.6...

I also tried the GHC 8 https://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_8_0_2#linux_i386 -> Centos 6.7 binary, 
but it needs the libtinfo5 package installed.

Recommendations: ask the vps provider for more memory, or start fresh on a new linode server costing 
$5/mo.
