Patch-tag.com launch: project hosting for darcs
Thomas Hartman
hosting site for darcs.
Patch-tag is in limited beta at the moment. I have no idea how well it
will scale with a lot of users, so for now I am going to stop
enrollment after 100 users.
Patch-tag works with darcs 1 and darcs 2 repos, but from my experience
performance is a lot better with darcs 2, so I encourage everyone to
use v2 where possible.
Patch-tag is built on a haskell stack: haskell, happs, macid. While
trolling the web for new users, I will probably blog about the pros
and cons of using this new and exciting but not yet well-battle-tested
technology. My happs evangelism website happstutorial.com is a good
place to learn about this, and in fact patch-tag probably shares >75%
of code with happstutorial if anybody out there would like to follow
in my footsteps with other happs "2.0" commerciall-y sites.
Among other things, I hope that patch-tag will gain traction as a
community site for haskell users, darcs users, and other denizens of
the fp underground. For those of you who would like a closer glimpse
behind the scenes at what is going on, I also extend invitations to
join my private google group haskell-startup.
Patch-tag also appears to have found its first customer: it is being
used as the project hosting site for Matt Elder's fork of the happs
project, which was also announced today:
So everybody please cheer Matt for pulling the trigger on this as well.
Happy hacking!
Thomas.

Well, it would be inelegant to merely copy them. I think patch-tag is
a cute name - it has connotations to me of people running joyfully
around in a game of tag, tossing around patches. 'Tag! Your repo is
it!'

That is kind of what I was going for, without being too obvious about it :)
Coding is fun.
Happy hacking :)

do you know about darcswatch?
http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/
http://darcs.nomeata.de/darcswatch/documentation.html
May I suggest that you consider setting up a darcswatch instance on
patch-tag that tracks all public repositories hosted there. You could
also provide e-mail aliases for each repository (that forward to the
owner, or may be reconfigured to forward somewhere else), that are
published in _darcs/prefs/email, to automatically track all submissions
to repositories on patch-tag.com.
Greetings,
Joachim
PS: I could not post this to the haskell-startup list, because I’m using
a different Sender: than my From: address, although both of them were
added to the google mail account that is listed as a subscriber to the
list – mailman is great, BTW :-)

Wasn't aware of darcswatch till your email. Well, I'd heard of it but
didn't look into it too closely.
I'll try and have a closer look now.
