Even if the patchbundle format changes (I think I want to add the new repo format information to it, for example), I hope newer versions of darcs will still always understand old patchbundles. But then, thinking some more, since darcs is going to be able to upgrade older patch formats, old older patch formats _could_ be phased out gradually if one wanted, and in that case recorded patchbundles could eventually rot out of old age. In any case the idea sounds interesting. Hm, with --ask-deps one could make the patch with the patchbundle depend on everything the patchbundle depends on, so if one pulls the patchbundlepatch somewhere, everything needed to apply the patchbundle is pulled with it. But I'm not sure whether that would be convenient or annoying. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
