Switch from CVS to Darcs
I have changed the version control system used to develop Soks from CVS to Darcs. That means that the source code is no longer kept at www.rubyforge.org, but is instead at www.counsell.org/darcs. Packaged releases will still be made at rubyforge. The reason for the change is that Darcs works more like I do: it records changes across multiple files together, it allows ‘off-line’ changes to be recorded and merged later and it makes managing fixes acrosss branches very easy.
There are now three repositories:- Soks-stable, that contains code that has been, or will shortly be, released.
- Soks-testing, that contians code that will probably make it to the next release. www.soks.org uses the code from here.
- Soks-development, that contains ideas and experiments.
There is a repository browser at http://www.counsell.org/darcs. If you wish to download the code without using darcs, take a look at http://www.counsell.org/darcs/soks-stable.
If you wish to use Darcs to hack Soks then:- Get a copy of Darcs from http://www.darcs.net (or apt-get install Darcs on debian)
darcs get http://www.counsell.org/darcs/soks-development- Hack about
darcs record- Send it to me:
darcs sendif your machine and firewall are configured so that sendmail works.darcs send -o=patch-file.txtthen e-mail darcs@soks.org with the patch-file attached.
- Get the latest changes to the repository by
darcs pull http://www.counsell.org/darcs/soks-development
Let me know how you get on with the new system.
