Darcs + has a number of advantages for us developers, such as:</p> + + <ul> + <li>You have a local copy of the repository, and can therefore + work offline</li> + <li>You can decide which changes you want to import and export, + so that you can omit dangerous changes, or keep changes to + yourself until you are ready to publish them</li> + <li>You can undo most changes</li> + <li>You can easily rename files and directories</li> + <li>Darcs does not need its own server, which makes it both more + convenient and more secure</li> + </ul> + + <p>and them some more, as described in the <a + href="http://abridgegame.org/darcs/manual/">darcs manual</a>.</p> + + + + <h2>Getting Carpet</h2> + + <p>In order to get the <a + href="http://www.carpetcode.org/~darcs/carpet/">development + version of Carpet</a>, you first need to install <tt>darcs</tt> on + your system. This is described on the <a + href="http://abridgegame.org/darcs/">darcs home page</a>, and some + links to binaries are given in the darcs wiki. If you have + problems installing or using darcs in general, then you should ask + on the darcs mailing list, which I (Erik Schnetter) also read + regularly.</p> + + <p>After having installed <tt>darcs</tt>, take the following steps + to get Carpet:</p> + + <ol> + <li>Move your old version of <tt>Carpet</tt> to a secure place: +<pre>cd Cactus +mkdir oldcarpet +mv arrangements/Carpet* oldcarpet</pre></li> + + <li>Get the development version of Carpet. Carpet consists of + four arrangements that live in a single repository. This + structure is not what Cactus expects, and we will therefore + put it outside the <tt>arrangements</tt> directory: +<pre>cd Cactus +darcs get http://www.carpetcode.org/~darcs/carpet</pre> + This copies the whole Carpet repository, and it will take some + time.</li> + + <li>Create some symbolic links in the arrangements directory: +<pre>cd Cactus/arrangements +ln -s ../carpet/Carpet* .</pre> + (don't forget the dot at the end of the last line).</li> + </ol> + + <p>That's it; you can now recompile your Cactus/Carpet + configurations.</p> + + + + <h2>Updating Carpet</h2> + + <p>At some time you will want to update your version of Carpet and + incorporate some changes from the main Carpet repository.</p> + + <ol> + <li>You do this with the command +<pre>cd Cactus/carpet +darcs pull</pre> + which will look for new changes, and then ask you which of these + you want to obtain. Normally, you will want all changes.</li> + </ol> + + + + <h2>Working with Darcs</h2> + + <p>We also have some instructions on how to <a + href="work-with-darcs.html">develop Carpet with darcs</a>.</p> + + + + + <hr /> + + <p> + <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img + src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10" + alt="Valid XHTML 1.0!" height="31" width="88" /></a> + </p> + + <hr /> + <address><a href="mailto:schnetter@uni-tuebingen.de"></a></address> +<!-- Created: Tue Sep 28 16:52:20 CEST 2004 --> +<!-- hhmts start --> +Last modified: Tue Sep 28 19:35:11 CEST 2004 +<!-- hhmts end --> + </body> +</html> |
