Hi list, during the sprint, team Paris' mission was to implement packs of patches to speed up get. The idea was to put several patches in the same file, in order to reduce latency while downloading. This goal was not reached during the sprint. We produced a wiki page http://wiki.darcs.net/index.html/Packs_Specification, and now there is a repository http://code.haskell.org/darcs/packs where the implementation has started. The darcs there is able to read a repository in which some patch are found inside packs, that is a compressed file containing several patches. Pack creation does not happen now, but should be implemented via a darcs optimize --pack command. This would pack all the patches which are under a tag, since they are less susceptible to be cherry-picked. It would probably be run when using darcs tag.
Packs are coming soon! Florent _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
