Hi Simon I for one am doing fine with my local repos and with a bit of scp/rsync magic everything is working well enough. I do though miss hub.darcs.net, and I'll be glad when it's back online. :o)
If anything, this incident highlights the need for more darcsden nodes on the net. As you already know, I have long considered setting up an instance in the EU, but I'm not comfortable going at it alone. Any EU people out there who might be interested in chatting a bit about joining forces on such a project? :o) Thomas Den søn. 17. jun. 2018 kl. 16.17 skrev Simon Michael <si...@joyful.com>: > Hi all.
