This program tracks darcs patches and repositories, giving an overview over their state (applied or not applied).

The patches are expected to come in via the mailfilter.sh program, which stores the patches in the appropriate place.

The main program then downloads the repository inventories and compares the mailed patches against the repository. It summaries their status per submitter and per repository.

The program expects a directory as a parameter and will read the config file therein for configuration. An example configuration is included.

DarcsWatch uses modules from these non-standard packages:

• xhtml
• network
• HTTP
• Crypto
• parsec
• nano-md5
• zlib
• concurrentoutput
• time
• mime-string
• regex-compat

There are a lot of open issues, and help is very appreciated. A non exclusive list of TODO items is:

• Nicer output (CSS magic!)
• (Maybe) Add repositories per GnuPG signed command

When committing patches, please make sure that they work with the version of GHC in the latest Debian stable release, at the moment ghc6.6, and compatible libraries.

BTW, the simple darcs repository parsing code might be useful for other projects as well. I try to keep the patches for the Darcs.hs related stuff separate from the rest, so you can select them when "darcs pull"ing. If you also follow this procedure, we can share the Darcs.hs code between projects, by making sure our patches to these files can be shared without dragging in the rest of the project.
