Hi all, Hands up if you'd like to build the official Darcs package for Windows, please!
We haven't heard from Salvatore in a while, and we need those packages built. The basic role consists in building a binary for darcs when the packagers' preview release for Darcs comes out, uploading it to darcs.net, and linking it from the wiki. Darcs aims for major releases every 6 months, with minor bugfix releases coming out afterwards. As for the packaging work, I think you can find some help on the wiki <http://wiki.darcs.net/Windows>. Darcs is a lot easier to install on Windows these days, thanks to the Haskell Platform, but things like curl integration and what not are nice touches that users may need help with. There's much more work you could do with regards to packaging if you're feeling ambitious. But let's think about that later. Thanks to Salvatore for all the packages in the meantime and his efforts towards an nice, integrated Windows-friendly Darcs. Hopefully, we'll catch him at a future hacking sprint at least! Eric :-) PS. I'll wait a maybe another week before calling for a new Czar (whose job would be to worry about and advise us on Windows), but I think the Windows packaging job is one that could be done separately. -- 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)
