Three of us are attempting to collaborate on a Haskell project, but we don't work for the same company and corporate firewalls are getting in the way. Since this situation keeps coming up, and I have to build ad hoc solutions every time, I'm looking for a once-and-for-all kind of answer. That answer may be sending darcs patches by email to my little group, keeping three separate repositories. Could I get some advice on how to do it? I've read through the darcs manual and it appears to me that there are several possible ways to proceed. Ideally, each one of us would set up our email clients to automatically grab an incoming email with a patch, and apply that patch to our own repository. I use OS X 10.5.2, so I can set up a rule in Mail.app to run an applescript when a patch comes in. Another member of the group, behind another firewall, uses Windows. Presumably there is some client out there that could do something similar. (Outlook?? eep) The third group member uses Linux. Presumably procmail et al could do the job.
I'd use http, but company policy says I can't. I don't see how to use https -- my firewall blocks many of the https methods. The company firewall blocks ssh. Seems to me that email is about the only common denominator. If we could automate it (even somewhat) we might have a solution. Any experiences like this? Thanks, -Rod Price
