Just checking: is this patch functionally equivalent to patch346? (it doesn't really matter which gets applied, just thought it was funny to see this come up a second time for a totally unrelated reason). It looks like this patch is blocking on consensus on the relaxing the lockstep policy documented in http://wiki.darcs.net/Development/Policy#dependencies but which poses some technical difficulties pointed out in * http://bugs.darcs.net/patch346 and * http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2010-August/024995.html I'd like a rough consensus on this, but (Reinier and Petr) if this is really blocking urgently you have my green light. What I figure is that the new clever darcs --exact-version (which tells what versions of libraries it was built on) is sufficient to avoid confusion. We'd still face the downside of increase the variability of darcsen in the wild, but perhaps that's an acceptable tradeoff? -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> For a faster response, try +44 (0)1273 64 2905 or xmpp:[email protected] (Jabber or Google Talk only)
