Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.18.2nb1, Package name: darcs-2.18.2nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Darcs is a revision control system. Darcs is simple to learn and use,
with a powerful new approach to meet the needs of today's distributed
software projects. Darcs is decentralized, based on a "theory of
patches" with roots in quantum mechanics.

devel/darcs: Update to 2.18.2

Darcs 2.18.2, 24 Mar 2024

  * Fix deprecated head/tail warnings on GHC 9.8, making the build there
    warning-free.

  * Replace the set-default hint that was removed in 2.18.1

  * Add a --ghcflags/-g option to the test suite to allow flags
    like -dynamic to be passed to GHC when it builds helper exes
    in various test scripts.

Darcs 2.18.1, 25 Feb 2024

  * Supports GHC 9.8 and the most recent version of other dependencies
    at the time of release, with the exception of the tls 2.0 package,
    which has been held back because of problems connecting to hub.darcs.net
    (see https://bugs.darcs.net/issue2715).

  * Substantial rewrite of the 'darcs test' command.

    The most important user visible change is that a test script can now
    return an exit code of 125 to reflect an untestable/skipped state
    (as with with "git bisect run").

    This in turn means that a group of patches can be found to be responsible
    for a failure rather than just a single one. By default, Darcs will
    try to minimise such a group by reordering patches to remove irrelevant
    ones from the initial group found from the patch ordering in the
    repository. This behaviour can be disabled with --no-shrink-failure.

  * Remove support for downloading via curl

    This is no longer particularly useful as we now use modern, maintained
    Haskell libraries for native HTTP downloading, and substantially simplifies
    this area of the code.

  * Patch index: Significant performance improvement

    The patch index is used in commands like annotate and log. A couple of
    performance improvements were made that should speed up using the patch
    index.

  * Progress reporting

    Progress reports are now provided during more long-running operations,
    including updating the "index" (a cache that speeds up detecting
    changes in the working directory), and during merge operations.

    They also behave better on Windows and when outputting long lines.

  * Other changes/fixes:
    * Use hardlinks more often to share files between repositories/caches.
    * Support --leave-test-dir for all commands that support --test
    * Avoid extraneous "repo:." entries in _darcs/prefs/sources [issue2672]
    * Add 'darcs clean' command as an alias for 'darcs revert -l'
    * 'darcs rebase unsuspend': add more patch editing options
    * Fix stale lock files after Ctrl-C
    * External merge tools: preserve output, and fail if tool does
    * Properly reference renamed files in external merge [issue189]
    * Mark conflicts properly if tag pulled at the same time [issue2682]
    * Remove the useless optimize pristine subcommand
    * 'darcs convert': honour the --compress and --diff-algorithm options
    * Fix contrib/darcs-shell [issue2646]
    * Fix 'darcs pull --dont-allow-conflicts' with external-merge [issue1819]
    * Problems with local pristine files now tell user to run
      'darcs repair' [issue1981]
    * Fix various problems with symlinks, including on Windows
    * Add --no-prefs-templates option when creating a repository
    * Allow 'darcs rebase unsuspend' when there are non-conflicting
      unrecorded changes
    * Handle broken pending patches in 'darcs check' and 'darcs repair'
    * Improve error reporting when remote _darcs/format doesn't exist
    * 'darcs optimize reorder': add --deep/--shallow options
    * 'darcs optimize compress/uncompress': also handle pristine files
    * 'darcs optimize cache': don't work with lists of darcs repos
      Instead just the global cache is cleaned by checking hard-link counts
    * Skip the pager when $DARCS_PAGER / $PAGER are set to the empty string
    * 'darcs convert export': allow relative paths for --read-marks and
      --write-marks
    * Fix 'darcs amend --unrecord' to move unrecorded changes to pending
      [issue2697]
    * Don't treat cancelling an operation as failure [issue2074]
    * Fix cloning of ssh repo when using Ctrl-C to stop getting patches
      [issue2701]
    * Don't report invalid regexes as a bug in darcs [issue2702]
    * Add short option -n for --dry-run
    * 'darcs diff': support --look-for-moves and --look-for-adds
    * Fix buffering problem with 'darcs diff' [issue2704]
    * 'darcs obliterate' and 'darcs rebase': offer to revert any conflicting
      unrecorded changes
    * Stop displaying context lines in various interactive scenarios:
      it didn't work properly and would require a lot of work to fix.
    * Improve conflict display for Rebase and V3 patches
    * Increase size limit to 100K for environment variables like
      DARCS_PATCHES_XML, and warn when it is exceeded
    * 'darcs rebase unsuspend': improve the display of dropped dependencies
    * 'darcs amend --ask-deps': also provide a way to remove dependencies
    * 'darcs push': support --reorder-patches option
    * Remove the --remote-repo option
    * Don't display hints about using --set-default
    * Conflict resolution: unrecorded changes will suppress conflict marking
      of appropriate changes [issue2708]
    * Explain what a "clean tag" is in help for tag command
    * Fix problem with naming patch bundles after patches that contain
      characters incompatible with the current locale [issue2716]
