This would be nice. I had a quick glance at the code, but I think that what I want would require a "darcs pull --tags" to create a temp repo and a "darcs dist" in the temporary repo to create the tarball. Am I missing something ? > Do you expect it to have a web interface, or to be just the generator > CGI with some documentation on how to create links to it? I was just thinking to have a <download tgz> link associated to every tag in the code. This link should then trigger a function to generate the tarball or just re-use it, if present one in the cache. Alternatively, we can just have a link associate to every commit, or if this is too complicated or expensive (for the reason above), just a link to generate the snapshot of the repo as it is. what you think ? If there is an easy way to generate a tgz given a tag, something like "darcs dist --tag=TAG" or something more general "darcs dist --to-patch=PATCH" to generate a tarball of the repo up to the selected patch, then I'll be happy to try to add this feature myself. :) p -- ++ Blog: http://blog.rsise.anu.edu.au/?q=pietro ++ ++ "All great truths begin as blasphemies." -George Bernard Shaw ++ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
