Well, okay, I'd like to switch to darcs 2 (forgot that Simon had already
convinced me earlier..). But according to darcs.net:
- the latest stable release is 2.0.2
- the latest windows binary bundles are 2.0.0
- there is a binary-only add-on from Simon (2.0.1rc2), with
comment that one needs to use a different wrapper to use
cygwin's ssh (which I'd prefer)
I'll try to build & uplaod a more up-to-date Windows binary today.
darcs is in a pretty bad way on Windows right now.
1. System.Posix.Files has confusion about COff, which on Windows
is Int32, but since we're using stat64() on Windows the st_size field
of struct stat is an Int64.
All over the place darcs assumes that fileSize returns a COff, which
it doesn't on Windows. I suppose we need a type that corresponds to
COff on Unix and Int64 on Windows, and use that instead of FileOffset.
I'm a bit ignorant of how the whole configuration system works in
darcs, so while I could fix this up with a few #ifdefs I'm sure the
patch would probably be rejected because it needs autoconf tests or
whatever. So I'll leave this for now (if someone wants to tell me
the right way to fix it I might find time to do it later).
2. threadWaitRead only works in GHC 6.9+ on Windows, it shouldn't be
used in earlier versions (affects Darcs.Utils).
there might be more problems lurking, this is as far as I've got.
Cheers,
Simon
