as you seems to be the long missed dictator (or even if you are not, you have been stamped by this :)
There's no dictator. I think every Slime hacker has equal rights and responsibilities. This includes giving commit rights and rewriting/deleting code that someone else wrote.
i was more-or-less joking there... :) i agree with you in these.
I have no objections against moving to darcs. But that repo only contains the commit history back to 2005-04-04. It wouldn't be wise to throw away earlier changes. I've run cvs2darcs and placed the result at http://common-lisp.net/~heller/slime-cvs2darcs.tar.bz2. It's twice as big: 17MB uncompressed. Is that a problem?
definately, thanks for noticing this! i was in the belief that the conversion was lossless.
fyi, the resulting repo of the cvs2darcs does not pass a darcs check, and cvs2darcs was last modified sometime in 2004. i've contacted the tailor guys and asked them to take a look at the slime repo because there's probably some bug in tailor that makes it skip the first n changes.
of course i hold back my horses until the conversion is fixed.
