I hope to be able to upgrade not too long after the release, but it depends on when I have the time. Thanks to everyone on the list who has helped us with our situation. Please don't construe my posts as complaints, I'm only trying to figure out what's best to do here. In particular, I agree that it was perfectly reasonable to make v2 repos the default in 2.1.0. Painful to some people, but it had to be done sometime. It's good that the darcs team is trying to be sensitive to IT issues - that's important for VC system. And of course, more on topic for this thread - I add my sincere thanks to David Roundy, for darcs and for all the work it entailed. I wish him the best of luck in all endeavors. -Yitz _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
