[darcs-users] darcs head on Solaris issues.

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

I'm just trying darcs head (as of today) on Solaris (SXDE 1/08) and it
seems the issues already reported here are still presented. No offens, I
just would like to find out latest status of darcs2 on Solaris!

For your information, I've got darcs 2.0.0 compiled on Linux and used it
 to grab the latest sources of darcs, move them to Solaris and give it a
try. The issues are two:

1) whatsnew in darcs repo produces:

karel at silence:/tmp/darcs.net$ ./darcs whatsnew

darcs failed:  Pattern match failure in do expression at
src/Darcs/SlurpDirectory.lhs:404:14-24
karel at silence:/tmp/darcs.net$

and
2) get and whatsnew -l produces:

karel at silence:/var/tmp/jjj$ /tmp/darcs.net/darcs get /tmp/darcs.net
Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C...

darcs failed:  Unable to read directory /var/tmp/jjj/darcs.net (it
appears to be neither file nor directory)
karel at silence:/var/tmp/jjj$

^ interesting is that this happens just after all the patches are copied.

karel at silence:/tmp/darcs.net$ ./darcs what -l

darcs failed:  Unable to read directory . (it appears to be neither file
nor directory)
karel at silence:/tmp/darcs.net$


so I guess the issue with testing for symlinks is still presented. Is
there any way how I might help with it?

Thanks!
Karel
