Amends may be done in later 2.3.x releases.
Regarding the manual, I'm perfectly happy with shipping an autoconf tarball that includes a pre-rendered (i.e. HTML and/or PDF) version of the user manual, but doesn't have the facility to "make html" to re- render it. I'm less happy if 2.3 ships without a pre-rendered manual nor the means for users to render it, but honestly I think getting the source released is a higher priority. Bear in mind that since Darcs 2.0 a *lot* of documentation has been updated and made available via "man darcs" and "darcs help", which was previously only available in the user manual. Also, since the TeX-only parts of the documentation have received the least scrutiny, there is still a lot of stuff that's obsolete (Darcs 1) to the point of being actively disinforming. In other words, I think the TeX user manual is less valuable than it once was. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
