The main point is decentralizing all of this stuff so people can work on new concepts without losing track of head-of-line (or anyone else's branch). My point is that arch was designed to solve problems like the above. darcs seems to have a lot in common with arch (but doesn't seem to have as mature of an implementation). In a cathedral vs. bazaar conversation, it seems that making the bazaar possible with tools designed for a cathedral makes contributions more difficult, thus less likely. This is the second message regarding darcs I've received. I was actually interested in darcs before finding arch, but had problems getting it built. I'm interested in trying it again, but it's going to take something amazing to get me to switch the majority of my code. :) -- SPY My girlfriend asked me which one I like better. pub 1024/3CAE01D5 1994/11/03 Dustin Sallings | Key fingerprint = 87 02 57 08 02 D0 DA D6 C8 0F 3E 65 51 98 D8 BE L_______________________ I hope the answer won't upset her. ____________ ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
