That's right. There hasn't be a release recently, and the version packaged for Ubuntu should be fine. > He can probably suggest where to put a Darcs repository so as to make it > publicly accessible; I *think* that this could be readily accomplished > by stowing it in some subdirectory of /home/community/slony/htdocs, as > that would make it world readable, which I think is how Darcs would like > it to be accessible.

There is also a simple Python script that works as a web-based browser of the repo, including RSS feeds. It would only need some light protection from robots, to prevent repeated calls back to darcs. Unlike CVS, darcs does not run as a service. Only SSH account holders could get to it. > It might be a neat idea to replace the CVS repository for slony-web > (which is the web site repository) with a Darcs one, some time soon... I have been using darcs since before 1.0, and have used it for projects up to about 50,000 LoC (the largest I tried). It has always worked well for me. I even wrote up a number of benefits from switching from CVS to darcs at the time: http://mark.stosberg.com/Tech/darcs/cvs_switch/ These days, it can also do things like automatically send out "commit" emails. It's also easy to learn for those to who are knew to it. Anyway, as you can see I could go on about it. :) Mark _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
