Alberto, thanks for your reply. I've taken the liberty of cc'ing the
darcs list to spread awareness, I hope you don't mind.

I'm actively maintaining it.
Excellent.
I have moved to git for all my projects a long time ago, but I still
maintain
darcsweb, and plan to keep doing so.
Since it's been very stable, maintaining it takes up very little of
my time
and I think it's a way of contributing back to darcs, which was very
useful to
me.
Plus, I don't see many alternatives that can take darcsweb's place
(there are
other browsers, but much heavier to install and run than darcsweb,
like the
trac integration), so I think it makes sense to keep fixing bugs and
merging
the occasional patch or working on the occasional feature request.
I agree with you. My only reservation (and the reason I pinged you) is
that something written in haskell might get more participation from
the darcs hackers and might integrate better with other tools.
For example darcsden has a simple repo browser (http://darcsden.com/alex/darcs/changes
), the potential for deep darcs integration using libdarcs, and I
believe with some new skin templates could look quite similar to
darcsweb. It brings other baggage of course, but perhaps the repo
browser could be factored out.
On the other hand, darcsweb is battle tested, has an effective caching
system, is very easy to deploy, and gives very good tracebacks when it
goes wrong. :)
On the third hand, I would like a good just-works repo browser to be
built in or shipped with darcs. Like eg mercurial and fossil do. I'd
be happy with darcsweb, but perhaps haskell would be more ideal.
I still use it frequently. Thanks for making it.
Glad to see it's useful. You're welcome!
BTW, if you have patches that you think make sense to include in
darcsweb,
don't hesitate to send them!
Ok, I just sent two (hide Ignore-this in log view, allow viewing more
than 50 patches).
Also, if you have any feature requests, I'd be glad to hear about
them.
Thanks a lot,
Alberto
Here are two:
1. in tree view, show recorded files and directories only (we
discussed this before)
2. an email address at http://blitiri.com.ar/p/darcsweb/repos/darcsweb/_darcs/author
for darcs send
Thanks!
