| 1 | This is cl-darcs, a darcs client written in Common Lisp. I started |
|---|
| 2 | writing it because the original client requires GHC (the Glasgow |
|---|
| 3 | Haskell Compiler), which is not available on all platforms. |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | cl-darcs is currently in a very early state of development. |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | * Usage |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | At the REPL: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :cl-darcs) |
|---|
| 12 | (darcs:get-repo "http://path/to/repo" "/local/non-existent/directory/") |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | Or if you want to select which patches to apply: |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | (darcs:get-repo "http://path/to/repo" "/local/repo-dir/" :query t) |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | To pull new patches from a repo (the address from the remote repo is |
|---|
| 19 | optional, as it defaults to where you got the tree from): |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | (darcs:pull "/local/repo-dir/") |
|---|
| 22 | or |
|---|
| 23 | (darcs:pull "/local/repo-dir/" "http://path/to/repo") |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | cl-darcs currently doesn't try to merge changes in your local tree |
|---|
| 26 | with patches you pull; you have to do that manually if you want to |
|---|
| 27 | edit files. For now, you need an external tool to find the local |
|---|
| 28 | changes, e.g: |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | diff -x _darcs -ru _darcs/pristine/ . |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | * Configuration |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | cl-darcs can use an HTTP proxy: |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | (setf darcs:*http-proxy* "proxy.example.com:3128") |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | * Known bugs and misfeatures |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | Above all, cl-darcs is currently a read-only client. There is no |
|---|
| 41 | support for generating diffs or committing patches. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | Some combinations of merger patches are not properly handled. You |
|---|
| 44 | should be able to get a tree with a real darcs client, and then use |
|---|
| 45 | cl-darcs for pulling new patches. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | Repositories can be fetched only from local files and HTTP. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | Tags are not faithfully reproduced. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | Checkpoints are not used. |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | * Compatibility |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | I primarily develop cl-darcs on CLISP, but try to keep it working on |
|---|
| 56 | SBCL as well. Users of non-Unix systems probably need to change |
|---|
| 57 | MAKE-TEMP-FILE-NAME in util.lisp. |
|---|
| 58 | |
