Darcs is a fully distributed and simple to use revision control system. Instructions on accessing the repository are available at http://darcs.net/linux.html In brief, you can get a copy of the latest kernel (converted from the bkcvs branch) using darcs get --partial http://darcs.net/linux You can leave out the --partial, if you want to get the full history of the kernel repository (which obviously will take longer). Be forewarned that darcs is a bit of a memory hog when run with large repositories, so the above command may take quite a while, and probably will require 700 or 800 megabytes of virtual memory. The actual working set of memory is under 300 megabytes. Work is underway to improve both the speed and memory usage of darcs. So far the emphasis in darcs development has been on correctness and stability. The darcs kernel mirror is sponsored by Aktiom Networks (http://aktiom.net). Aktiom specializes in Linux Virtual Private Servers (VPS) for technology professionals and consultants. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
