Patch-Tag has upgraded to darc 2.3.1. I have also started logging darcs actions to see which ones take the longest in hopes of providing the development cabal with intelligence for some hard to squash bugs.

Heads up, Namespaced Repos is about to go live (… and now it is live)
Posted in Uncategorized on September 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Patch-Taggers, I am about to pull the trigger on namespaced repos. That means that repo paths will look like http://patch-tag.com/r/myuser/myrepo rather than (current) http://patch-tag.com/r/myrepo This is nice if you want to branch someone else’s repo, no need to call it repo_vxxx or however people have been doing it. This breaks public repo urls, however. After [...]

Hey taggers, I have stopped being a full time entrepreneur and got a job with a startup that pays the bills: scaling and automations engineer with modernfeed.com, which is being rebranded under a domain which I must not name, at least for the next six weeks. Confession time: I have not done a lot for [...]
Life in the fast lane, sort of

Patch-Taggers, there’s been a lot of action in our personal lives lately, some foreseen and some that just snuck up on us. I will be pitching an idea that is kinda-sorta related to patch-tag, but not patch-tag itself, to a tech angel in nyc in a few days, so spending a lot of energy preparing [...]
Patch-Tag Extends Free Trial, and other developments
Posted in Uncategorized on May 12, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Holy freebies, batman, it’s May and we still haven’t started charging for private repos… Yep, it’s taking patch-tag longer to get the commercial ball rolling than planned. Hope nobody minds. For now, matt and I are focused on improving usability and working out our payments functionality. The biggest change is a new repo browser. Patch-tag [...]
What to do when cabal install works in one environment, but not another.

I just reinstalled ubuntu on my development laptop because the hard drive seems to have been hosed after a hard reboot. (Wubi is vulnerable to those.) Everything was backed up on patch-tag, so no major drama. One annoyance was the cabal install I ran for installing patch-tag was getting hung up on some dependency related [...]
first patch to darcs source
Posted in Uncategorized on April 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I just made my first patch to the darcs source, a minor fix correcting an incorrect help message that has always bugged me. http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2009-April/018914.html Stuff I have learned: There are two different build systems with darcs: cabal and make. Cabal install does the usual thing Make is what you want if you want to load [...]
Fields whose type is an impure function are Evil Because I Say So
Posted in Uncategorized on March 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I was browsing the FileStore code and got to thinking that the FileStore data type rubbed me the wrong way because it hides IO, diluting the Purity of Essence of haskell’s precious type system. In ghci of our code that uses FileStore: :t darcsFileStore “/home/thartman/patchwiki/wikis/happstacktest/” darcsFileStore “/home/thartman/patchwiki/wikis/happstacktest/” :: FileStore I see that and I think, [...]
Patch-Tag Gets a Bunch of New Features – For starters, Repo Browsing from Gitit
Posted in Uncategorized on March 12, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Oh boy howdy! Patch-tag just got a bunch of new features. For starters, we have repo browsing built on gitit. This may sound like an easy thing to do, and we sure thought it would be before actually doing it, but it turned out to be quite a chore. Gitit has some memory issues, and [...]
ImplicitParams are Evil (Thoughts on adapting Gitit)
Posted in Uncategorized on March 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
To provide a wiki editing mechanism for repositories in Patch-Tag — which should eventually work for both darcs and git repos — we are adopting Gitit to our purposes by adding a security model with read and edit permissions for wikis, and making it posible for gitit to host more than one wiki at a [...]
