[cffi-devel] Re: what I like about cffi -- darcs -- not

Hi,
BTW, this was also my first use of darcs. I quite enjoy it and appreciate its interactive mode. Grmpf. Now I discovered dacs --pull to update my local repository and of course, there was a conflict and darcs got really confused, or so I believe.
Question 1: how would you like me to send patches? As a single large file (darcs send -o joerg.diff), or as a collection of the half-dozen darcs records that I used (with what command)? Question 2: The conflict occured in src/types.lisp where I had modified defctype. The change is completely superfluous now. But it's not until I went to the online repository that I understood that defctype was not at the bottom of the file but had moved up and was completely transformed. Even the local _darcs/current/src/types.lisp confused me since I believed that would reflect the newest remote content, but it contains a merge of remote and my local records -- somehow, without the conflict marker I get to se in the working directory. Any advice on how I should proceed from there on? Obviously, any new tool needs mastering & experience to cope with. Unrecord, unpull, rollback, amend-record and revert (or rather, their manpage) are still confusing me. I disliked darcs pull --verbose not telling me what patch introduced the conflict. At the end, it just said: We have conflicts in the following files: src/types.lisp I believe it could have been more precise, and name the patch. Regards, Jorg Hohle.

Oh yes, types.lisp *finally* went through a rewrite recently.

Never had any conflicts with darcs yet. :-) Good luck with that! -- Luís Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt
