| 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 | * Compiling |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | If you use CLISP or SBCL, you can use cl-darcs as a standalone |
|---|
| 8 | executable with an interface very similar to the real darcs. Just |
|---|
| 9 | run: |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | ./configure && make && make install |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | You can also use cl-darcs from the REPL, by installing it as an ASDF |
|---|
| 14 | system: |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | ln -s $PWD/cl-darcs.asd /path/to/asdf-systems/ |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | * Usage |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | See the manual in the doc directory. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | * Known bugs and misfeatures |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | cl-darcs is brittle and might eat your data. Getting a remote |
|---|
| 25 | repository or pulling patches from it will not affect it; what happens |
|---|
| 26 | with the target repository varies slighly. Make backups of data you |
|---|
| 27 | care about, and report bugs! |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | cl-darcs seems to cope well with either just pulling patches from a |
|---|
| 30 | remote source, or just recording patches, but the combination of these |
|---|
| 31 | two activities hasn't been extensively tested. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | Some combinations of merger patches are not properly handled. You |
|---|
| 34 | should be able to get a tree with a real darcs client, and then use |
|---|
| 35 | cl-darcs for pulling new patches. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | Repositories can be fetched only from local files and HTTP. Patches |
|---|
| 38 | can only be applied to local repositories. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | Tags are not faithfully reproduced. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | Checkpoints are not used. |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | * Compatibility |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | cl-darcs works on CLISP and SBCL on Unix-like systems; it has also |
|---|
| 47 | been reported to work on Lispworks. Getting it to work on other Lisp |
|---|
| 48 | implementations should be simple; grep the code for #+clisp or #+sbcl. |
|---|
| 49 | For other operating systems, modify MAKE-TEMP-FILE-NAME in util.lisp |
|---|
| 50 | accordingly. |
