Someone has worked on something for ikiwiki <http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net>, and in any case it should be quite easy to to add some primitive support. I actually also did some basic support myself, contemplating to use it for something; but then it wasn't quite getting the features that I needed (unrelated to the rcs aspect) despite lengthy discussions, so I lost interest in it. The last time I checked, ikiwiki RCS backends received pre-modified files on the filesystem, that they were supposed to commit. I think that for darcs and other DVCSs a better architechture would, however, be for the wiki software to to actually generate the patch bundle itself (storing the context and original copy of the file as hidden elements of the html edit form, this having the client maintain the state information), which should be quite easy for changes affecting single files with standard diff libraries. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
