I can't see the use myself. Nothing else relies upon Netrek, it's not like it is essential infrastructure that other projects use. Using darcs or CVS or wget to obtain the source is easy. The source isn't exactly large, so there's no significant benefit in allowing individual file download in some special fashion. The darcs repositories are directly browsable anyway; you can make reference to the current version of a file simply by using the URL for the repository as a base. For example, the NEWS file in the Vanilla source tree ... http://www.netrek.org/repos/netrek-server/Vanilla/NEWS ... and the same file in my repository ... http://james.tooraweenah.com/darcs/netrek-server/Vanilla/NEWS For those on 56k modem, darcs is still the fastest method over any CGI interface, since the patches are gzip compressed, and don't include any HTML encapsulation. Once downloaded and cached, there's no need to go back to the web until another patch arrives. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
