[darcs-devel] [issue560] Getting source code

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

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

| darcs: getCurrentDirectory: resource exhausted (Too many open files)

This sounds like a Darcs bug, but it's not one I have heard before. I'm copying the Darcs bug-tracker list, because they probably know what to do.

(Darcs guys: Richard's message appears in full below.)

| Subject: Getting source code
|
| Hello
|
| I'm trying to get the source code for development purposes (helping add
| some Haddock documentation for TH).  I tried following the steps listed on
| http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/GettingTheSources and
| ran into trouble.
|
| I downloaded ghc-HEAD-2007-08-29-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2 and
| continued through the steps.  On step 3, I received an error message from
| darcs:
| $ darcs pull -a
| Pulling from "http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc"...
| This is the GHC darcs repository (HEAD branch)
|

|
| I tried using darcs get but I think I ran into the same case issue as on
| Windows:
| $ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
| This is the GHC darcs repository (HEAD branch)

|
| darcs failed:  Error applying hunk to file ./ghc/includes/rtsTypes.lh
|
|
| I'm using GHC 6.6.1 (binary distribution) and darcs 1.0.9 (can't remember
| if it's binary distribution or if I compiled it myself) on Mac OS X
| 10.4.10 for Intel.
|
| Any help would be appreciated.
|
| Thanks,
|
