Is anybody out there using darcs on AFS (Andrew File System, see openafs.org)?
It seems to leave behind some droppings (darcs_checking_for_nfs). I understand the vague idea behind this, but AFS has different semantics than NFS when it comes to removing open files -- AFS will create a file called ".__afsXXXX" which will persist until the open filedescriptor is closed (or the client holding the callback times out). Anyways, I'm wondering exactly what part of the NFS open-delete-readwrite weirdness darcs cares about. It might not matter on AFS. However, currently, it's leaving behind droppings, and can't delete its own darcs_checking_for_nfs directory because those .__afsXXX files are still there. - a -- PGP/GPG: 5C9F F366 C9CF 2145 E770 B1B8 EFB1 462D A146 C380 _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
