| ANN: darcsden 1.1 + darcs hub news 2013/07
darcsden 1.1 released
=====================
darcsden 1.1 is now available on hackage! This is the updated version
of darcsden which runs hub.darcs.net, so these changes are also
relevant to that site's users. (More darcs hub news below.)
darcsden is a web application for browsing and managing darcs
repositories, issues, and users, plus a basic SSH server which lets
users push changes without a system login. It is released under the
BSD license. You can use it:
- to browse and manage your local darcs repos with a more comfortable UI
- to make your repos browsable online, optionally with issue tracking
- to run a multi-user darcs hosting site, like hub.darcs.net
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/darcsden - cabal package \
http://hub.darcs.net/simon/darcsden - source \
http://hub.darcs.net/simon/darcsden/issues - bug tracker
Release notes for 1.1
---------------------
Fixed:
* 16: Layout of links and navigation places them offscreen
* 21: anchors on line numbers exist but line numbers not clickable
* 28: forking then deleting a private repo makes repos unviewable
* 29: darcs get to an invalid ssh repo url hangs
* 46: if user kills a push, the lock file is not removed, preventing
subsequent pushes
New:
* the signup page security question is case-insensitive ("darcs")
* login redirects to the "my repos" page
* a more responsive layout, with content first, buttons at top/right
* many other UI updates; font, headings, borders, whitespace, robustness
* more context sensitivity in buttons & links
* better next/previous page controls
* better support for microsoft windows, runs as a service
* builds with GHC 7.6 and latest libraries
* easier developer builds
Brand new, from the Enhancing Darcsden GSOC (some WIP):
* you can sign up, log in, and link existing accounts with your Google
or Github id
* you can reset your password
* you can edit files through the web
* you can "pack" your repositories, allowing faster darcs get

How to help
-----------
darcsden is a small, clean codebase that is fun to hack on. Discussion
takes place on the #darcs IRC channel, and useful changes will quickly
be deployed at hub.darcs.net, providing a tight dogfooding/feedback
loop. Here's how to contribute a patch there:
1. register at hub.darcs.net
2. add your ssh key in settings so you can push
3. fork your own branch: http://hub.darcs.net/simon/darcsden , fork
4. copy to your machine: darcs get http://hub.darcs.net/yourname/darcsden
5. make changes, darcs record
6. push to hub: darcs push yourname@hub.darcs.net:darcsden --set-default
7. your change will appear at http://hub.darcs.net/simon/darcsden/patches
8. discuss on #darcs, or ping me (sm, simon@joyful.com) to merge it

Alex Suraci created darcsden. Simon Michael led this release, which
includes contributions from Alp Mestanogullari, Jeffrey Chu, Ganesh
Sittampalam, and BSRK Aditya (sponsored by Google's Summer of Code).
And last time I forgot to mention two 1.0 contributors: Bertram
Felgenhauer and Alex Suraci.
darcsden depends on Darcs, Snap, GHC, and other fine projects from the
Haskell ecosystem, as well as Twitter Bootstrap, JQuery, and many more.

darcs hub news 2013/07
======================
http://hub.darcs.net , aka darcs hub, is the darcs repository hosting
site I operate. It's like a mini github, but using darcs. You can:
- browse users, repos, files and changes
- publish darcs repos publicly or privately
- get, push and pull repos over ssh
- grant push access to other members
- fork repos, then view and merge upstream and downstream changes
- track issues
The site was announced on 2012/9/15
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.darcs.user/26556).
Since then:
- The site has been deploying new darcsden work promptly; it includes
all the 1.1 release improvements described above.
- The server's ram has doubled from 1G to 2G (thanks Linode). This
means app restarts due to excessive memory use are less frequent.
- The front page's user list had become slow and has been optimised,
halving the page load time.
- BSRK Aditya is doing his Google Summer of Code project on enhancing
darcsden and darcs hub (mentored by darcs developer Ganesh
Sittampalam). Find out more at http://darcs.net/GSoC/2013-Darcsden .
- The site is being used, with many small projects and a few
well-known larger ones. Quick stats as of 2013/07/19:
user accounts 317
repos 579
disk usage 2.5G
uptime last 30 days 99.48%
average response time last 30 days 1.6s
- The site remains free to use, including private repos. Eventually,
some kind of funding will be needed to keep it self-sustaining, and
could also enable faster development. Donate button ? Gittip ?
Charge for private repos ? Let's discuss.
Please try it out, report problems, and contribute patches to make it
better.

Best,
-Simon
