These dependencies are a serious pain on MacPorts. It apears that only darcs uses hashed-storage (the hs-hashed-storage package), and maybe that only hs-hashed-storage uses hs-mmap (but MacPorts dependencies often lie). However, the maintainers are not very careful about keeping them synced, and versions evidently are incompatible in important ways. The result is that darcs can't be upgraded for weeks at a time (which I can live with, old versions of darcs continue to work fine) and that "port upgrade outdated" no longer works because there's no way to say "the darcs port is broken, don't bother". The second is a daily annoyance, and moderately painful if some change in gettext or a GUI toolkit causes several dozen packages to get upgraded simultaneously. I realize that it's a pain for Darcs workers, too, but as long as the interfaces of the various packages are going to keep changing, wouldn't it be preferable to bundle working versions of these packages with Darcs? _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
