[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: darcs 2.5
Hi all, The darcs team is proud to announce the release of darcs 2.5. Darcs 2.5 contains many improvements over the 2.4 series. Most notable are the performance improvements in record and pull and the --bisect option for trackdown. The easiest way to install darcs 2.5 is using the Haskell Platform [1]. If you have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can install this beta release by doing: $ cabal update $ cabal install darcs Alternatively, you can download the tarball from http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.5.tar.gz and build it by hand as explained in the README file.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: darcs 2.5 beta 3
If I understand him correctly, he's saying the tarballs have the same contents but different checksums (well, md5/sha-1/sha-256/whatever hashes). Which would imply they're duplicating effort and confusing anyone trying to keep archives. Right (the timestamps inside the tarballs are actually different). ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: darcs 2.5 beta 3
Thanks for releasing the betas. :) I checked that http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/darcs-beta/2.4.98.3/darcs-beta-2.4.98.3.tar.gz and http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.4.98.3.tar.gz again seem to be identical for all purposes and yet actually different tarballs. The same was true for darcs-beta-2.4.98.2. :) I may be missing something but wouldn't it be less confusing and simpler just to have now one single unique tarball (ie darcs-beta-2.4.98.3.tar.gz)? You could still rename the tarball to darcs-2.4.98.3.tar.gz for darcs.net if you wish... :) Thanks, Jens -- Fedora Haskell SIG ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

We have postponed this feature because we discovered some problems with it, and we want to take the time to fix them adequately. On the other hand, a line diff now supports the --index option was added since the last beta :) If you have installed the Haskell Platform or cabal-install, you can install this beta release by doing: $ cabal update $ cabal install darcs-beta Alternatively, you can download the tarball from http://darcs.net/releases/darcs-2.4.98.3.tar.gz and build it by hand as explained in the README file. (You may notice that the Unix permissions in this tarball are weird - all files are 0600. That is because of Cabal bug #627: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/627. It will be fixed in the final release.)
