[xmonad] Is anyone maintaining the development snapshots?

[Peter Jones]

The xmonad README mentions the following "development snapshot" links:

http://code.haskell.org/xmonad/xmonad.tar.gz

http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib/xmc.tar.gz

Is someone creating these manually or were they nightly snapshots from
Darcs? If these aren't actively maintained (and generated from the Git
repo) then I suggest we remove them from the README.

They were generated by darcs wherever somebody pushed a patch. They are out
of date now. Github has ways to download the repo as an archive, but there
might not be much point in keeping that method since I understand git is
installed much more widely than darcs.

I thought about using GitHub's archive feature, but it generates (and
forces) https links. Unfortunately, cabal doesn't support them.
