[darcs-users] Where Arch is going

[John Goerzen]

Seen on debian-devel...

I wonder if it will ever be possible to achieve a greater unity between
Arch and darcs?  Perhaps an Arch backend for darcs is possible?

Incidentally, if they solve this, and also the UI issues, this could be
a better-darcs-than-darcs since it wouldn't have all the annoying
conflict issues.

But that may be a big If.

We have .. we're about 3 releases (~3 months) away from a full
pull-style checkout that will bring all the history and be branchable
via a simple cp.

This is part of our convergence with the bzr design, as bzr proves each
point we're bringing it into baz - quite successfully so far.

Cheers,
Rob
