[darcs-users] We need your help for darcs 2.5

[Reinier Lamers]

Hi all, 

The 2.5 code freeze is steadily approaching - we are planning to do the deep 
freeze on July 22nd. On the bugtracker [1], you can find a list of issues that 
we plan to fix in darcs 2.5. As you can see, there are 9 issues there that we 
don't have a volunteer for yet.

And this is where you can help! 

If you're new to darcs hacking, you may be interested in the ProbablyEasy bugs 
among them:

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue845: pass through stderr from ssh (because ssh 
prompts can block)

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue849: wish: output configure options in darcs --
exact-version

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1166: wish: darcs record --unified

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1611: amend-record of tags should be illegal

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1788: DARCS_DONT_ESCAPE_8BIT, DARCS_APPLY_HTTP 
not mentioned in help

Seasoned darcs hackers can help with the harder ones:

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1831: MoveFileEx: permission denied (2.3.x to 
2.4.x)

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1778: amend-record --patch-name="something" 
matches only the first time

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1865: darcs get --context is broken 

 * http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1746: whatsnew -l reading files it should not 
(2.4) 

Hoping for your help,
Regards,
Reinier (the darcs 2.5 release manager)
