Awesome, thanks! I like your darcs-beta idea. Now we can just tell people to cabal update and cabal install darcs-beta, and they'll know exactly what they're getting. Plus it helps us directly test what we're distributing by using "cabal install darcs-beta" ourselves. > * gzip CRC checking and repair feature (Ganesh) I assume my job is to pull patches from http://repos.mornfall.net/darcs/branch-2.3/ One small complaint: I don't mean to be too picky about process here, but I think it's a good idea for patches to flow from mainline into the release branches, rather than the other way around. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it makes sense for things like Cabal tweaks and ChangeLog entries and tags to just get done and sent later for expediency. In particular, I would have been a lot happier to see Ganesh's zlib patches (like all other patches) go through a public review before they got applied to a darcs we expect people to use. [*] Speaking of which, I had asked Christian on IRC if he could do this a while ago. Christian: have you had a chance to write this up yet? Don't worry too much about review quality :-) I'm more concerned about getting the job done than perfect. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this release. Thanks, all! [*] I think you may have mentioned off hand that you'll do a review of these before applying them, in which case thanks! Just don't forget to tell us (esp Ganesh) about it :-) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
