Bug#486192: darcs-server: package available somewhere?
I've CC'd the RFH bug on the assumption that this conversation should
be publicly visible; I hope you don't mind.

You should be able to "apt-get install darcs-server"; the unstable
(sid) distribution carries 2.0.0-5, which is the latest Debian package
I've made of it. In future, I expect to ask tester(s) to grab the
version I upload to mentors.debian.net and test that, so that they can
test it before it enters Sid. Otherwise I can just upload packages to
Sid and I'll rely on Sid users in general to spot and report problems.
Just to clarify: the debian darcs package I've adopted generates a
darcs-server .deb as well as the darcs .deb. darcs-server is split
into a separate package because it requires a web server, and it'd be
annoying to have to install apache just to run darcs from the command
line.
Since I'm basically giving the darcs-server .debs I upload my "stamp
of approval", I'm nervous that I might break it without knowing.
That's why I filed the RFH.
