Fellow darcs users, I would like to announce my project community hosting site for darcs.
http://patch-tag.com Patch-tag is in limited beta at the moment. I have no idea how well it will scale with a lot of users, so for now I am going to stop enrollment after 100 users. Patch-tag works with darcs 1 and darcs 2 repos, but from my experience performance is a lot better with darcs 2, so I encourage everyone to use v2 where possible. Patch-tag is built on a haskell stack: haskell, happs, macid. While trolling the web for new users, I will probably blog about the pros and cons of using this new and exciting but not yet well-battle-tested technology. My happs evangelism website happstutorial.com is a good place to learn about this, and in fact patch-tag probably shares >75% of code with happstutorial if anybody out there would like to follow in my footsteps with other happs "2.0" commerciall-y sites. Among other things, I hope that patch-tag will gain traction as a community site for haskell users, darcs users, and other denizens of the fp underground. For those of you who would like a closer glimpse behind the scenes at what is going on, I also extend invitations to join my private google group haskell-startup. Patch-tag also appears to have found its first customer: it is being used as the project hosting site for Matt Elder's fork of the happs project, which was also announced today: http://happstack.com/ So everybody please cheer Matt for pulling the trigger on this as well. Happy hacking! Thomas. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
