[darcs-users] darcsweb 0.16

[Pietro Abate]

Hi all,

I've a suggestion (I'm posting here since there is no mailing list for
darcsweb (?))

Will it be worth add a "darcs dist" to generate on the fly a tar.gz,
for example every time the source is tagged (and maybe of the last
commit with current`date`.tar.gz) ?

At the moment I generate nightly snapshots with a cron job. I think this
could be nicely integrated with darcsweb ... And it can be particularly
useful when darcs is used in conjunction of packaging systems like dpkg
for debian that requires a .orig.tar.gz so the poeple packaging the
software are not forced of using darcs to get the latest version of the
sw.

Is this kind of feature too expensive to be added ?

cheers,
p
