In case anyone needs distracting from a current hot topic... |

Just like we have eclasses for cvs, tla etc, kosmikus has written one |
| 4 |
that does the same thing but for darcs. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Darcs (dev-util/darcs) is one of the new breed of distributed source |
| 7 |
control systems. Many projects are now maintaining their development |
| 8 |
sources in darcs, hence the utility of this eclass: |

| 11 |
|

kosmikus adapted it from the cvs and tla eclasses. We've been using it |
| 13 |
for some time in the Haskell team's overlay and we've had a request to |
| 14 |
include it in the main tree. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128307 |
| 17 |
That request includes an implementation but we're proposing our own |
| 18 |
implementation that is a bit more sophisticated and has already been |
| 19 |
tested with a few *-darcs ebuilds. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So we'd like to have people's opinion/comments on this going into the |
| 22 |
tree and of course we would appreciate code review etc. |
