[Buildbot-devel] updated Darcs mirror

Just a heads up.. I've re-tailorized the Darcs mirror of the buildbot source
code. If you're using Darcs to track Buildbot development, you'll need to
pull a new tree, using this command:

  darcs get --partial http://buildbot.sf.net/darcs-repos/trunk

(the '--partial' flag is optional, but should save you and the server a lot
of bandwidth, at the expense of collapsing the history beyond the most recent
release)

(in case anyone needs it, the old tree is still around for a little while:
just replace "trunk" in the URL with "old-23Jan2006". This old tree will
disappear the next time I remember to think about it, probably in a couple of
months).

The new Darcs tree only has history back to last November, just before the
0.7.1 release. It has tags for "buildbot-0.7.1" and "buildbot-0.7.2". Also
remember that this is a one-way CVS->Darcs sync.. there is no clean way to
get changes from Darcs back into CVS (other than manually applying the patch
to the CVS tree and then obliterating it from Darcs).

I suspect that eventually I will switch to using Darcs as the primary
repository, and have both the CVS and the Arch repositories slaved to Darcs.
That won't happen this weekend, though.

cheers,
 -Brian
