Darcs hub maintainer here. I'm glad some folks, including haskell <br>
developers, are still finding this useful.<br>
<br>
Darcs (David's Advanced Revision Control System) was once a flagship <br>
Haskell project and many of us still have affection for it.<br>
<br>
Darcs hub (<a href="http://hub.darcs.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://hub.darcs.net</a>) is a github-like hosting site for darcs <br>
users, running since 2012. It is the successor to the earlier <br>
darcs-hosting sites <a href="http://patch-tag.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">patch-tag.com</a> and <a href="http://darcsden.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">darcsden.com</a>. It currently has <br>
2800 repos, public and private, and 1400 user accounts. If you try it <br>
and want to push/pull via ssh, you'll need to follow the "How do I <br>
connect with ssh?" FAQ entry on the front page.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately for a while now I have been able to give it only essential <br>
maintenance and support time. I currently don't have much idea what's <br>
happening on darcs hub, except when I hear about problems from users or <br>
the hosting provider (Linode).<br>
<br>
This works ok, but I periodically wonder<br>
<br>
- how much need there is for this site to continue<br>
<br>
- if worthwhile funding could be raised for it<br>
<br>
- how long I should continue hosting it in "free time", unable to <br>
improve things much, and on call for unpredictable urgent data <br>
loss/compromise/legal compliance work<br>
<br>
- if I were to stop, whether handoff to a new owner would end up <br>
successful, or if I should just wind it down and let others do what they <br>
will<br>
<br>
Darcs hub is humming along fine. I'm just taking the opportunity to put <br>
out some thoughts, and would like to hear yours...<br>
<br>
Best!<br>
