The first source release and some very early documentation for Arch 2.0
("revc") is now ready!
Web page: <http://www.seyza.com/>
Source: <http://www.seyza.com/releases/revc-0.0x0.tar.gz>
Source (tar bundle) SHA1:
9c279f78e57a99d517ccf5b983960620ff6f2cf7
Source (tar bundle) size: 1732018
Some highlights: revc has only 10 core commands; there are about 165
functions; the source code is literally about 14K lines and is closer to
10K lines if you subtract out non-code boilerplate.
User complaints about tla 1.x being addressed in revc:
inventory is too complicated -- but is drastically simplified (almost
eliminated) in 2.0
we hate the funny filenames -- 2.0 requires only a single .revc
directory and you aren't expected to edit any files there. No more
{arch}, {arch}/=tagging-method, or deeply nested project-tree logs
the namespace blows -- 2.0 allows just about any revision name that
doesn't contain a slash character. There is a moderate limit on the
length of a revision name.
all this stuff about registering archives and making mirrors is hard to
learn -- and, in 2.0, it's all gone. You can use rsync to mirror stuff,
for starters. And all archives are anonymous -- there's no longer any
such thing as an archive name.
too much is too slow -- although the 2.0 code isn't especially optimized
yet, it seems to be hella snappy.
2.0 is very much git influenced but it brings some (imo significant)
improvements to the table.
