Ack .... but on the other hand if the repository is public *and* people do organize their checkins in a sorted manner, than using a SCM can be fine too. Anyway, as a side note on this thread: *darcs is just far toooo slow* for decent maintenance of large pieces of software. I tried once to create a mozilla repository, do some work with it and it was completely unusable. I am not talking about minutes, but almost hours to finish tasks that should take seconds. - Alexander -- GPG messages preferred. | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Alexander Sack | : :' : The universal [EMAIL PROTECTED] | `. `' Operating System http://www.asoftsite.org/ | `- http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
