	Debian -- darcs
		Darcs is a revision control system, along the lines of CVS or arch.
		Darcs is intended to be an ``advanced'' revision control system.
		There are, in particular, two senses in which it is supposed to be advanced: 1) each copy of the source is a fully functional branch, and 2) underlying darcs is a consistent and powerful theory of patches.

	LWN: Patch: darcs mirror of the linux kernel repository
		Darcs is a fully distributed and simple to use revision control system.
		Instructions on accessing the repository are available at http://darcs.net/linux.html In brief, you can get a copy of the latest kernel (converted from the bkcvs branch) using darcs get --partial http://darcs.net/linux You can leave out the --partial, if you want to get the full history of the kernel repository (which obviously will take longer).
		Be forewarned that darcs is a bit of a memory hog when run with large repositories, so the above command may take quite a while, and probably will require 700 or 800 megabytes of virtual memory.

	LWN: The Darcs Revision Control System
		Darcs is a relatively new revision control system that was written in Haskell by physicist David Roundy.
		Darcs differs from other revision control systems: "In the world of darcs, the source tree is not the fundamental object, but rather the patch is the fundamental object.
		Darcs version 1.0 was released this week, the Linux kernel is being used as a test of the system on a large project.

		Darcs is at version 1.0.1 as I write this, with a 1.0.2 imminent.
		Darcs' author, David Roundy, is starting to work on some of the bigger problem areas as we speak.
		A solution that some people use is to keep a master copy of the repository on their private machine and use rsync (or ssh, or ftp, or whatever) to propagate changes to the server.

	Interview with David Roundy of Darcs on Source Control :: Open Source, Linux News & Software :: OSDir.com
		Darcs feels a lot more like work now than it used to, and at times it starts feeling old, but then I get an email from someone who's just discovered darcs, and it's all worthwhile.
		When I first started working on darcs, I would also work in the evening at times, but after injuring my wrist with too much computer work, I developed the habit of not working in the evenings, which really is much more sustainable.
		Stosberg: Darcs is written in a Haskell, a functional language that is relatively unknown compared to C or Perl.

	I've Switched to Darcs \| The ChangeLog
		I've converted 24 public projects from Subversion or Arch to Darcs, preserving full history, as I mentioned earlier.
		It looks like darcs has gotten significantly better at handling merges and conflicts than it was last time I tried it.
		The Darcs wiki is a great resource, and has a page listing several options for Emacs, including both VC integration and standalone tools.

	Benefits from a real world switch from CVS to darcs
		I simply found that darcs was simpler and more pleasant to use, with a feature set I found sufficient for my needs.
		Darcs was designed to play well with others, and it shows in its simplicity of integration.
		Yet, darcs has helped me at every level of source control management, from designing a better flow between repositories, to helping me work productively with individual changes in file.

		It contains a few bits of code that you might find useful, such as an interface to libcurl (for lazily reading files over http or ftp), an LCS function and code for opening a pipe to sendmail as a Handle.
		the darcs webpage is http://www.abridgegame.org/darcs/ darcs is currently unix-only (counting MacOS X as unix).
		A port to windows would be a fair amount of work, but probably would mostly be straightforward (mostly dealing with slashes versus backslashes and getting libcurl to work under windows).

		With darcs you be can be productive within minutes; the same cannot be said for Arch or even Subversion.
		Darcs changesets aren't just GNU patches; they have context, which means, for example, that someone can check out a repository, move a file "foo.c" into the directory "bar" and commit; meanwhile, another person, working on an older copy of the same repository, edits foo.c (which is still in its old location) and commits that.
		Darcs know that this edit should apply to foo.c in the new location -- and unlike CVS, you don't need to do anything similar to "cvs update" if you're committing files that have been changed on the server.

	LWN: The Darcs Revision Control System
		Darcs could prove to be a very useful tool for numerous open-source development projects.
		After I've finished this darcs get, I'll subsequently be able to do "darcs pulls" to update the kernel source while using only an amount of RAM proportional to the new patches that I'm getting.
		I think maybe it should be called "darcs beta 1.0" because there are several ways in which not only is it not really ready for widespread use, but it is not clear to me how it is going to get there.

		darcs is an advanced revision control system, "two senses in which it is supposed to be advanced: 1) each copy of the source is a fully functional branch, and 2) underlying darcs is a consistent and powerful theory of patches.".
		Darcs is also written in Haskell, which makes it even more cool.
		Keeping packages in VC: Since the author of darcs, David Roundy, is apparently a Debian user (and a skillful one at that), I expect this package to be a joy to take care of.

		This was also a major hole in the current darcs documentation, which was very unclear as to the actual requirements for pushing patches back to a central repository.
		Darcs' patching algorithm is pretty sophisticated to allow for the various branch and merge operations that darcs supports and as a result can spend a lot of time working on a large repository.
		That said, you should probably test your own project with darcs to determine this as there are some pretty large projects being managed with darcs today with no problems (the Linux kernel not being one of them).

	darcs - a thoughtful replacement for CVS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		It's basically a CVS replacement, written in Haskell, but the interesting thing about it is the theory of patches that David created.
		This patch formalism means that darcs patches have a set of properties, which make possible manipulations that couldn't be done in other revision control systems.
		This last property is critical to darcs' philosophy, as it means that a particular version of a source tree is fully defined by the list of patches that are in it.

	wiki:darcs [DokuWiki]
		Well darcs may not necessarily be the best way to work with a distributed revision control, but it’s good enough from my point of view.
		I suppose we’ll have to RTFM - for darcs as well as other such systems, to figure out how the idea of stable branches is mapped to the new paradigm of “your source tree is a sequence of patches on the empty tree”
		darcs also makes me wonder if a similar kind of model could be applied to wikis - some kind of distributed wiki system where the content is never “owned” by a single server.

	Theory of patches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Although most filepatches will be hunks, darcs is clever enough to support other types of changes as well.
		In the darcs implementation, the inverse is required to be computable from knowledge of the patch only, without knowledge of its context, but that (although convenient) is not required by the theory of patches.
		The job of a merger is basically to undo the two conflicting patches, and then apply some sort of a ``resolution'' of the two instead.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for darcs
		In spite of its power, darcs is simple to use, in part because of the symmetry that is restored by making each copy of the repository a branch.
		In addition, a --summary option was added to "darcs changes", which lists the files affected by each change.
		Then my only suggestion would be to try the rpm for darcs, which is completely untested, as I don't have an RPM-based system myself, or to go throught the pain of compiling ghc.
