New submission from Mark Stosberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: While working on issue58, I tried out the new "DARCS_PATCHES" export for --posthook, which is in a plain-text format. That experience clarified for me that we should also export DARCS_PATCHES_XML, providing the same data in XML format.
The reason is --posthook primarily exists for automation, and the XML format is convenient for being processed by automated tools. By contract, parsing the human-readable format of DARCS_PATCHES is cumbersome and hackish, requiring things like matching lines that start with " * " to mean that we've found a patch name. ---------- messages: 3383 nosy: beschmi, droundy, kowey, markstos, tommy priority: wishlist status: unread title: wish: DARCS_PATCHES_XML exported for some --posthook cases topic: Darcs2 __________________________________ Darcs bug tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue686> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
