It depends on when someone volunteers to work on this. It's mostly a user interface issue. We've already got patch dependencies, which are fundamentally similar. In fact, we could define dependencies to be identical to "patch subsumption", at which point we'd just want possibly a nicer way to specify dependencies, the ability to create a patch with dependencies but no changes (this may already be done...), and the ability to hide patches that are explicitely depended upon by other patches (with of course, the corresponding ability to show such patches). And of course, documentation indicating how to use this. And we'd need to allow you to explicitely depend on patches that are implicitely depended on by other patches that you depend on. This is a bit more of a pain, but could be done at a later time. Unfortunately, this is a rather large project for a new darcs contributor. On the other hand, it is also made up of small changes, so it might be reasonable to someone with haskell knowledge but not darcs-coding experience to tackle. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
