In case anyone needs distracting from a current hot topic... Just like we have eclasses for cvs, tla etc, kosmikus has written one that does the same thing but for darcs.
Darcs (dev-util/darcs) is one of the new breed of distributed source control systems. Many projects are now maintaining their development sources in darcs, hence the utility of this eclass: http://haskell.org/~gentoo/gentoo-haskell/portage/eclass/darcs.eclass kosmikus adapted it from the cvs and tla eclasses. We've been using it for some time in the Haskell team's overlay and we've had a request to include it in the main tree. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128307 That request includes an implementation but we're proposing our own implementation that is a bit more sophisticated and has already been tested with a few *-darcs ebuilds. So we'd like to have people's opinion/comments on this going into the tree and of course we would appreciate code review etc. -- Duncan Coutts : Gentoo Developer (Haskell team lead) email : dcoutts at gentoo dot org -- [email protected] mailing list
