darcs-all

[Claus Reinke]

Hi again,

as I mentioned here

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2008-August/044260.html
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2008-August/044275.html

I'd like to see some improvements to darcs-all. For reference, I attach
my current version of "darcs-all":


 output after a die message; perhaps it is darcs2 terminal meddling?).

- try to summarize any darcs warnings, conflicts and missing repos
   (one might call "get" on the missing repos directly? darcs2 reports



   issue by reading and closing "packages" before calling darcs, so that
   darcs can freely update that file
   http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1034

So, when pulling today, using this version of "darcs-all", I got:

1. "darcs-all or packages updated; please re-run your darcs-all command at 
./darcs-all line 105."



2. this little summary at the end of the second run, corresponding to
   Ian's "heads up" message:

   -- there are missing packages:
   libraries/timeout (required repo!)
   libraries/getopt (required repo!)
   nofib (optional 'nofib' repo)
   libraries/unique (required repo!)
   libraries/st (required repo!)
   libraries/concurrent (required repo!)
   libraries/dph (optional 'dph' repo)

- stop with a message (before pulling other repos) when "darcs-all" or "packages" themselves have changed in the the initial "pull". TODO: the message should come as the final script output, but currently, it appears at the top (this might just be a question of calling some flushing op, or setting an autoflush option, but it is odd to see some messages to stderr; is the list of darcs "warning" prefixes in line 62 complete?) - try to account for the "Warning: ./packages-0: renameFile: permission denied (Permission denied)" which is better than trying to pull the remaining repos with the old in-memory package/darcs-all version.
