Primarily push and pull. Unfortunately we have to keep a few large binaries in the repository. When we change the binaries, it takes 1-2 minutes to push/pull. A full get can take 10 minutes. Hence the suggestion for fountain codes; we could speed up patch prorogation by pulling and pushing in parallel. > I think our next steps with regard to Windows and/or Cygwin are: Glad to here Cygwin is still on the road map. We're doing our best to migrate to Linux, but it will take another year before the migration is complete. -Tom _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
