Hi darcs gurus, hi Duncan, I'm stuck! I've just tried to separate the Gtk2Hs repo on code.haskell.org into it's constituent libraries. What we want is to extract some of the libraries that Gtk2Hs provides into their own repositories without loosing their history. The problem is that darcs will only checkout a directory that does not yet exist. So I've tried:
sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ darcs get --lazy /srv/code/gtk2hs Finished getting. sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ mv gtk2hs/_darcs . sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ mv gtk2hs/webkit . sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ darcs mv webkit/* . sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ rmdir webkit/ sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ rm -rf gtk2hs/ sim...@nun:/srv/code/webkit$ darcs record This seems to work great: webkit only contains the files it should and recording the patch gives me exactly the movements of the webkit files one level up and the removal of all other files. However, when I check out on my local computer I get: ~/source as49$ darcs get sim...@code.haskell.org:/srv/code/webkit Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C... darcs failed: Couldn't fetch `0000001146- ffed5fe22fabf1987787fe71d2c6c2e3a06d53e176e52bad3112d8bba73f9440' in subdir patches from sources: thisrepo:/Users/as49/source/webkit repo:sim...@code.haskell.org:/srv/code/webkit repo:/srv/code/gtk2hs thisrepo:/srv/code/webkit/gtk2hs I *think* what this means is that darcs on code.haskell.org tries to pull more patches from the original repo but fails to do so (even though I used absolute path names). Is there anything I can do to copy the gtk2hs repository to the different directories that the sysadmins there have created for me? Obviously, I could use cp -R but the repo is quite big so that I don't want to duplicate it 9 times. Any advice welcome, Cheers, Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gtk2hs-devel mailing list Gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gtk2hs-devel
