Hi gang,
One of the GSoC (Google Summer of Code) projects related to FreeSCI was
accepted, and a branching capability would be preferred for integrating
that work. The current version of darcs we have deployed for source
control has some limitations in this area, and we would like to upgrade to
darcs2. We would like to do so before next week, since that is when some
of the GSoC students are starting their projects.
Jordi has also suggested not updating the ChangeLog file, which gives
darcs some performance issues. Instead, we would generate the ChangeLog
from the darcs repository during 'make dist' for releases.
Pros:
-better branching usability
-performance improvements
Cons:
-currently no debian package for darcs2
Does anyone have objections? If everyone comes to agreement, we can
provide some "office hours" in the IRC channel to help people
compile/install the darcs2 client.
Thanks!
