#2201: darcs failed:  unrecognized option `--partial'
-------------------+-----------------------
Reporter:  zooko   |      Owner:
    Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Priority:  major   |  Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.5   |   Keywords:  darcs

 This command:

 {{{
 /usr/bin/darcs get --verbose --partial --repo-name build http://tahoe-
 lafs.org:6998/source/zfec/trunk
 }}}

 results in:

 {{{
 darcs failed:  unrecognized option `--partial'
 }}}

 A different builder on the same buildslave indicates that the version of
 darcs installed there is:

 {{{
 darcs: 2.7.98.3 (beta 3)

 }}}

 I guess this means the darcs folks are finally removing the backwards-
 compatible {{{--partial}}} option, which was replaced by an improved
 {{{--lazy}}} option in darcs-2.0, released in about 2008 IIRC. Buildbot
 should just switch {{{--partial}}} out for {{{--lazy}}}. I don't think
 anybody uses darcs<2.0 anymore, and if they do they can complain, or
 refrain from upgrading to the newest version of buildbot.
