[darcs-devel] [issue893] Continued failure with darcs

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>:

Dear Darcs crew

I'm just writing to advertise my continued failure to get 'darcs pull' to work.

To reproduce:

1.        Unpack http://darcs.haskell.org/~simonpj/ghc-HEAD-2007-08-29-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2

2.       darcs pull http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc -av

Result is

darcs failed:  problem gzopening file for write: _darcs/patches/20080126191939-e23c7-efc06647390321527cc18de0e08c017b568b36ae.gz-0

(In fact I did step 2 from a local rep, because doing it over the network takes a very long time, but I saw the same behaviour earlier when pulling from http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.)

I'm doing this under MSYS on Windows, with
sh-2.04$ darcs --version
1.0.9 (release)

I'm giving up on this, and instead I'll start from a more recent snapshot of the repo.  Nevertheless I have to say that it is very unsettling that Darcs fails in mysterious ways.

I'll keep the bits around in case you want me to try any other experiments.

Simon
