Yup! Petr Rockai (mornfall) is also involved; he's my "sponsor". > My co-worker complained that darcs 2.0.0 pull took more than 60 > seconds, and when I did the same thing on my machine it took a mere > 5 seconds or so. Please tell him/her to report such bugs to Debian by running the "reportbug" program (in the "reportbug" package). The first thing I'd do is tag such a report "moreinfo" -- unless there's enough information to reliably reproduce a problem, I can't do much. The URL for the repo in question would be an obvious first step. (If the repo can't be made public, there are other things we can try.) > I installed darcs-2.0.2, compiled locally, and that one takes a mere > 8 seconds or so to do this same pull. A Darcs 2.0.2 package for Debian is in experimental. For release-related reasons, this might not be uploaded to Sid until Lenny is released (which is expected in September). Could your co-worker (or you) grab that .deb and see if it has the problem? > So something about darcs-2.0.0 or about the way it was built for sid > is making it much slower. Was the 8 second figure run by the co-worker on his/her machine? If not, something in .darcs/prefs or a darcs cache could be responsible for the speed up. If you want to, you can "apt-get source darcs=2.0.0-5" and try looking at the code in debian/rules, where the ./configure arguments live.
