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.
