[darcs-users] Darcs-server

[Daan Leijen]

Hi all,

I have never been satisfied with the options available for pushing 
changes to a darcs repository with multiple users: I either have to set 
up SSH accounts for each user, or receive patches by email. Therefore, I 
have written "darcs-server" a program that extends darcs to enable push 
to remote repositories -- Finally! you can do centralized development 
with Darcs :-)

With the darcs server you can:
- push changes remotely via a CGI script
- or push changes via a single SSH account that serves many users
- use cryptographic verification and authorization of users for reading 
and writing
- use gpg encryption (for CGI)
- use non-public repositories that can only be accessed by authorized users.

The client program is of course written in Haskell, but I wrote the 
server script in Perl in order to reduce dependencies on the
server: you only need Perl, a darcs binary, and either CGI or SSH.

Have fun,
