Hi all,
I've a suggestion (I'm posting here since there is no mailing list for
darcsweb (?))
Will it be worth add a "darcs dist" to generate on the fly a tar.gz,
for example every time the source is tagged (and maybe of the last
commit with current`date`.tar.gz) ?
At the moment I generate nightly snapshots with a cron job. I think this
could be nicely integrated with darcsweb ... And it can be particularly
useful when darcs is used in conjunction of packaging systems like dpkg
for debian that requires a .orig.tar.gz so the poeple packaging the
software are not forced of using darcs to get the latest version of the
sw.
Is this kind of feature too expensive to be added ?
You could set a posthook in apply and record that runs 'darcs dist'
then renames the file to `date`.tar.gz. Check the darcs manual for
details and send another email if you get stuck or have questions
(it's pretty simple). If you did it this way then you'd get that dist
tarball whenever the repository changes.
HTH,
Jason
