So I'm thinking about how to proceed with the VC of LIP. Someone asked me to move it to the central CVS repository, and someone else asked if I would move it to darcs.
Lot's of interesting discussion triggered by this. darcs sounds intriguing but there's a lot of (reasonable) resistance to change. It seems to me that the best way to proceed is to try darcs on a project which is relatively new (low cost of switching to it), small (low cost of switching away from it if experiment fails), and important (so major players will try it out). So, if you're still willing to try darcs for LIP, I think that would be a fine choice. The worst that can happen is that you change to CVS or some such in a few months. -- Alastair Reid www.haskell-consulting.com ps The above is written without actually having tried darcs and having a pretty large investment in using CVS.
