Revision Control System is yet another replacement for CVS. It is
written in Haskell, and has been used on Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
and Microsoft Windows. Darcs includes a cgi script, which
can be used to view the contents of your repository.
If you want to learn more about darcs, read the manual. The manual is also available as a Postscript file, and as one large HTML file. If you have any questions about darcs, please ask the mailing list. You can also check out the darcs wiki which has advice from other darcs users.
You can download darcs as a tarball. In order to compile darcs, you will need ghc 6.2, or later, and a recent version of libcurl.
If you already have darcs, you can get a copy of the latest code using darcs itself:
darcs get --verbose --partial http://abridgegame.org/repos/darcs
If you want a complete copy of the darcs repository or are running a copy of darcs older than version 0.9.16, you should leave out the --partial flag.
Darcs is compiled and packaged for a quite a few platforms. For binary installation instructions and/or download links, see the darcs wiki binaries page.
There is a mailing list available, darcs-users@abridgegame.org, to which you can send questions, comments and most especially bug reports. There is also a darcs development mailing list, darcs-devel@abridgegame.org, which you can join if you're interested in contributing to (or observing) darcs development.
