bfrk: what i need to modify top page on darcs.net ?
-
Heffalump
I think you have to do that offline and have someone with perms push the patch. What change do you need?
-
tankf33der
update links to 2.16.3
-
bfrk
Probably update latest release?
-
tankf33der
yea

5sec task.

archlinux already updated, darcs in base.
-
bfrk
I'd say a 'darcs send' should do it.
-
bfrk
Sorry. What I meant is: darcs clone
darcs.net/darcs-wiki, edit FrontPage.page, darcs record, darcs send. Not sure but I hope the send will add a patch to the tracker.
-
tankf33der
ok
-
bfrk
I have actually already made the change to the wiki front page. I will do a darcs send now and we will see if it works...
-
bfrk
It seems the patch just gets sent directly to darcs-devel⊙dn and not to the tracker. I will try 'darcs push' now.

Noob question: What's `darcs send` and how does it differ from `darcs push`?
-
bfrk
Okay, so the procedure I sketched works. Your patch will be sent to darcs-devel and then someone (/me or Heffalump) will pick it up and push it and that's it.
-
bfrk
vifon: it creates a so called "patch bundle", standard extension ".dpatch", which can then be applied using 'darcs apply'. darcs push is literally "darcs send, then darcs apply remotely".
-
vifon
So it asking me whether I want to send the patches is a lie?
-
bfrk
No, since bundle contains the patches. (Plus a bit of context)
-
vifon
Or rather, should I interpret the "send" part of the question as "generate a .dpatch file"?

Indeed it just wrote to a file.

Removing my SSH key before accepting made me more confident in trying it. :)

vifon
Thanks for the explanation.
-

Many years ago the default for darcs send was changed to not actually send anything, just create the bundle as a file. That was because less and less people had sendmail or something equivalent on their machines.
-
vifon
Makes sense.
-
bfrk
I keep forgetting that because I do have one installed (msmtp), and I have configured darcs so that darcs send actually sends an email.
-
bfrk
darcs help send explains how to do that.

Heffalump: could you add an up-to-date Windows binary to the wiki?
-
Heffalump
sure - I'll try to do it this evening, feel free to remind me then
-
bfrk
BTW, I also have
-

record prompt-long-comment
-
bfrk
amend prompt-long-comment
-
bfrk
in my ~/.darcs/defaults because I never liked that they changed the default to open an editor (that was before I became a core dev for darcs). Most changes don't warrant a long description anyway, and for amend I find it especially useful because it lets me decide whether I want to change the log after I selected changes.

I made a very short 2.16 wiki page so we have something to link to and so that
darcs.net/Releases doesn't tail off with 2.14:
darcs.net/Releases/2.16
-
Heffalump
but there is a lot of information on the previous ones that's just duplicated from elsewhere, I'm not sure we really want to keep doing that
