[admin] Account request + darcs
Hello, I'll be working on the CFFI project on common-lisp.net so I guess I need a c-l.net account for this since I have[1] to publish my work on its project space. :-) After talking with CFFI's author we reached to the conclusion that the best way to go would be for me to keep my own branch and he would then pick patches from there. He prefers to use darcs for that kind of stuff, and to be able to push changes easily, darcs would need to be installed in c-l.net. (the CGI script for browsing repositories would be nice too). Would it be possible to install darcs? I think other lispers would be interested in this too. Thanks in advance, [1] - this is part of Google's Summer of Code so I need to have my sources available in a place like c-l.net -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/ Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/po/registry.cgi?team=pt

yes, darcs should be doable (and the cgi-script). however i was under the impression that you could just as well rsync a local branch to cl.net, is this not true? -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

Hmm, I think you are right. For a single developer, darcs+rsync to publish the tree works fine. I think the problem with darcs+rsync is that you don't get locking for multiple "pushers".

my only worry (very possibly unjustified) is that darcs will attempt and impossible merge and chew up all the (limited) cpu on the machine, taking lisppaste and minion with it. not that it costs much to try, worse come to worse i'll just quota limit all the darcs users :). is the best option the statically linked 1.0.3 version from carpetcode.org? i'm going to put off the cgi script until i'm (relativly) sure that it won't be an easy DOS tool. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

Hmm.. I don't know what c-l.net uses (Debian has darcs, FreeBSD has a darcs port) but I suppose installing GHC just to compile darcs wouldn't be worth the trouble?

In http://ww.telent.net/diary/2005/5/#27.1591, Dan Barlow mentions that darcs' "cgi thing is probably not going to be available for long, as xsltproc eats machine resources like, well, like something designed by XML users." -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/ Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/po/registry.cgi?team=pt

By the way, I'd prefer first "luis" then "luismbo" as a login name. Thanks, -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/ Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/po/registry.cgi?team=pt
