I am trying to write a Darcs reporting front-end and have stumbled across an annoying error. Maybe I am doing something terribly wrong here, so I am asking for your help to clarify the issue.
The idea is to use the darcs executable and parse its output to build the reports. Here is what I am trying to run (and what I get): ------------------ $ darcs changes --xml --last=5 --repo=http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/repos/trunk darcs failed: Not a repository: http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/repos/trunk (Failed to create temporary file darcs: permission denied (Permission denied)) ------------------ I have done some searching on that error, but none of the past issues that I have found seem to be related to what I am trying to do. I also assume that the same kind of reporter has already been built. Therefore, I can only assume that I am using the wrong approach. The URL /is/ a repository, despite what Darcs says. My experiments have shown that if I try that same command-line inside a darcs repo dir (any repo dir), everything works fine. As a workaround, an empty repo can be created to be used as working dir for the darcs commands, but I am looking for a cleaner solution.
