Slightly off topic, but I'd like to hear what you think of Arch. I've been using subversion for a while and it's definitely an improvement over CVS. I've just started looking at arch and it seems interesting but a bit more difficult to learn for a CVS user.

Hi all,
I've been talking to Erik Enge on #lisp and suggesting to go into full support mode for arch. (-:
What is left to do: not much, really. development of arch-based projects on common-lisp.net is possible already, as both non-anonymous ftp and anonftp are supported.
What would be good to have: a few things.
- sftp support for people who are reluctant to transmit passwords in plain text over the net. this will probably also benefit users who don't use arch.
- no delay between uploading something and it appearing in the anonftp download area. Would it be possible to upload to the download area directly? Erik said it was a permission problem. That should be easily fixed, I guess (-:
Erik also asked about a script to send notifications to project mailing lists when a change get committed to the arch archive. This is a little harder to implement, but should be doable via the "dnotify" agent. I'll look into that when I have the time.
Anyway, thanks for putting up common-lisp.net!
Good night,
