Hi. These mass changes of debian/watch made me think about having our decision of having some packages in Git and some in Darcs. I think it would be better to use only one VCS for the group, to make it easier to do this kind of changes, that affects all packages. I reviewed my opinion from the last time we discussed this, and I'm not a radical for darcs: I'd be happy to work with Git too. OTOH, pet[0] works for darcs and there're 86 dirs in /darcs/pkg-haskell against 12 in /git/pkg-haskell. So, because of these points I think it would be more practical to change them all to darcs. Please comment. Greetings.
This subject seems to be dragged up a lot.Please don't. I vastly vastly prefer git and git-buildpackage over the darcs packaging tools. This for packages that I am the de-facto maintainer for (agda*). For others I am happy to work with darcs, even though I find it less pleasant.
I'm sure pet can be patched to cope with git too.I wonder just how often mass changes are going to be required. (and how easy it would be to just remember to look at git in case of such events)
