I think 'darcs stash' probably won't be ready for 2.12. I sent the refactoring patches to reduce the divergence between my stash branch and mainline - they're worthwhile in themselves as I think the final code is simpler and cleaner, albeit I wouldn't have gone to the effort were it not for stash. I still need to rebase the stash feature itself onto the latest mainline, and then I need to update the UI along the lines we discussed some months ago and give it some more thorough testing. I don't think that's realistic for the next couple of months and I don't think we should hold up 2.12 for it. > Ganesh also has improvements for the "darcs test" command, if they can > be ready soon, they will make it in 2.12. That should be feasible; I'll try to focus on submitting those next. > The perfect moment for the release would be not too long after the > release of GHC 8, so that we can hope to have Darcs 2.12 included in > the next Debian stable along with GHC 8. Fine with me. FYI I've tested darcs with GHC 8.0.1 rc2 and it pretty much works fine with a couple of minor changes. There's a problem with one dependency (shelly) not building that will be easy enough to fix in the code of shelly if needed - I think it's caused by a regression in GHC that might be fixed in rc3, so I haven't pursued changing shelly itself yet.
