The problem with neon in my experience is that they don't hesitate to change the API in incompatible ways, occasionally requiring substantial changes in the caller. It appears that at least on the Mac gnome-vfs bundles neon, and GNU Arch also decided to bundle a version of neon that "worked for them" rather than deal with the API changes. I know it's been mildly annoying for me maintaining an elisp wrapper for it. (It would be a real PITA except I haven't released the wrapper so I just drop support for older versions as I go along.) I haven't worked on that wrapper code in about a year, so it's possible that neon's API has stabilized. It's something to check, though. _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
