I just use scp with a clean working directory. This may need some tweaking with _darcs/prefs, but it works¹. I agree that having darcs put is more elegant, but on the other hand, the current darcs put is very impractical, and practically unmaintained. If someone (you?) takes the responsability to make its quality on par with the rest of darcs, then keeping it is the best option. Otherwise, I don't want to lure users into something broken. Best, Florent ¹On my local machine, on the darcs darcs repo, scp takes 11s, vs 100 for darcs put. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3/PygACgkQTCPcDztjGo7X6QCeKiZUoJXILKXBAkmBw8SDOKAr v1kAn260NVFMYwwgqmi5p1p6MG5ViOgh =6iWc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
