Package: darcs Version: 1.0.9-1 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if it were possible to generate a ChangeLog for tarball distribution by including "darcs changes > ChangeLog" in the predist pref. This is not currently possible:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/darcs-monitor$ darcs setpref predist "darcs changes > ChangeLog" Changing value of predist from '' to 'darcs changes > ChangeLog' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/darcs-monitor$ darcs dist darcs failed: Not a repository Created dist as /home/ajk/src/darcs-monitor/darcs-monitor.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/darcs-monitor$ There is a related upstream bug report asking for the ability to have darcs dist generate a manifest; I cannot currently look it up as bugs.darcs.net is not responding for me. However, the upstream report suggests a workaround which does not appeal to me, as it requires the tarball generating human to do something more than just "darcs dist". The upstream report logs include the suggestion of having darcs dist export the repository path in the predist command's environment. I find that a good idea. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.6-ibid (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages darcs depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3 7.16.4-5 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgmp3c2 2:4.2.1+dfsg-5 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.1-6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20070825-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime Versions of packages darcs recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.4.5-3 High-performance mail transport ag -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
