Interview: David Roundy of Darcs Revision Control

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-did-he-say dept.

comforteagle writes "In the aftermath of our last interview with Tom Lord, regardless of personalities, it became apparent that the idea of decentralizing CVS is a big deal. Many mentioned darcs as an alternative to Arch. Mark Stosberg has interviewed project head-hancho David Roundy about darcs, his 'theory of patches,' what's next, and on using Haskell for the project."

  1. Theory of patches by geneing · · Score: 0, Troll
    Let me summarize the "theory of patches": you reverse patches in the opposit order of applying them.

    I don't know why anyone would make a big deal out of that.

    I have to agree with many other comments: the use of haskell eliminated it as a choice for me. I use subversion instead, and still looking for a better vcs. I checked all the available free (and some non-free) systems and all of them have major warts.
