Well, darcs-1 is currently not possible, since darcs-benchmark expects darcs 2 executables. It shouldn't be hard to fix I guess, I am not sure why the restriction is there... oh, probably because we have hashed/darcs2 repos for the benchmark and we don't have any repo format logic in darcs-benchmark that would know which repos to use for which binaries. I think it would be best to only have a single tarball of any given repository and use darcs get --old-fashioned or so to convert it back into old-fashioned if needed. I'm not sure this is in scope for darcs-benchmark though. A robust solution may be quite a bit of work in the end. (I.e. we'd need to add a new axis to the system -- we now have darcs version, repository and benchmark, and we'd add repository format, with the restriction that not all formats work with all binaries...) Yours, Petr. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
