I'm not really sure what you mean by 'using darcs to access a remote repository'. What operations do you want to do? I mean, 'darcs get' doesn't depend on the remote repo having darcs (it's just copying files), but something like 'darcs put' (whose documentation http://darcs.net/manual/node8.html#SECTION00843000000000000000 claims it is basically a 'darcs init' remotely and then a 'darcs push' locally) maybe not so much. - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAkla+qcACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oJCRwCeMpCLsOqET6w8augvJxpnbkRX nFkAoJo2tNw2dq96igCUug8zo7F3VtUu =3hC9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
