It is possible.  The current situation is that I'm running the Debian
package and that it is the most recent Debian package available for
stable.  Doesn't mean we can't compile our own but I'm pressed for
time, as usual.  If someone could write a script that untar'd,
compiled and installed darcs I would be happy to run that on
common-lisp.net and remove the Debian package.  Make sure it works
with the darcsweb version we have (0.14) or provide an upgrade path
for that, too.

Thanks,
Erik.
