I liked darcs, too. But it has a a few serious problems: - occasional hangups during conflict resolution (we had this two or three times, now) - bootstrapping problems (needs GHC) - slow, doesn't scale svn is dumb, simple, reliable, widely installed and has served us well so far. Moreover the darcs workflow for hacking on chicken itself (which *is* much more flexible than with a centralized repository like in svn) has probably not much use for people who just fetch the newest chicken development sources. As Matthew Welland already pointed out in another mail, syncing the svn checkout with the distributed VCS of your choice isn't such a big deal. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
