Re: [eclipsedarcs-develop] darcs get failure from eclipsedarcs repo

[Kauker, H. <Hub...@tr...>]

Thanks a lot,

darcs get --partial --verbose http://...

works all right.
Very fast - I am impressed.

Also simple "darcs get" went past patch 37 this morning.
Killed it myself at patch 100 or so, since my patience was up.

Anyway, a rather strange message:=20
libcurl: HTTP error (404?).

What puzzles me is the question mark.=20
Obviously libcurl or some other module higher up was doing some =
guesswork.
Under normal conditions a 404 error and a timeout, say, should be easy =
to
tell apart. Right?

Thanks again,
Hubert

Leif,

 

for the record only: when that 404 message came, nothing was killed or
interrupted.

And indeed, I am on Windows.

Must be one of those "rough" edges.

 

Just an idea:  --exact-version might produce a readable OS identifier, too?

Indeed. I'd have to speculate what happens here. I would guess, from the
message, that it comes from libcurl. But as you said, libcurl should be able
to be more specific. So either the message comes actually from the code that
calls it (called it, was interrupted by the kill, didn't know what the
problem was, and wrote that message as if on behalf of libcurl), or
(assuming you're on Windows) this has to do with the version of libcurl that
was linked in (cygwin?, ...). Generally, Darcs seems to have a few rough
edges on Windows, there are several things that don't really run smoothly.

Right, but that is no question for eclipsedarcs mailing list. ;) But
to share the opinion, darcs doesn't do good job informing about
abnormal situation. For example, yesterday I've run darcs check. The
output was something like

$ darcs check
  The repository is inconsistent!
  Nothing!

Now go figure. ;)

Furtunatly 'darcs repair' fixed the state (by giving no explanation either).

That is why I have started to learn Haskell. ;)

Cheers,
  Radek.

Indeed. I'd have to speculate what happens here. I would guess, from the
message, that it comes from libcurl. But as you said, libcurl should be abl=

to be more specific. So either the message comes actually from the code tha=

calls it (called it, was interrupted by the kill, didn't know what the
problem was, and wrote that message as if on behalf of libcurl), or
(assuming you're on Windows) this has to do with the version of libcurl tha=

Yes, I've seen something like that also.

'Nothing' is one of the possible values of the 'Maybe' data type in Haskell.
(Given some type a, the two possible values are 'Just a' or 'Nothing'.) So
for instance, if you have a function that collects problems in a repo, you
might get nothing back from that function, or just a list of error messages.
In you case, it seems, there was nothing ;-) There seem to have been
problems still, but none of them with detail messages. At any rate, that is
what I think has gone on in your case. I have had sometimes the situation
where darcs check would give a list of changes in diff format instead of
just saying 'Nothing'. These changes were what was inconsistent.

At any rate, I totally agree of course that this is not something that a
user would have to know. The message would probably better be something like
'No further details available. Please run darcs repair.' Or something like
that :-)


Furtunatly 'darcs repair' fixed the state (by giving no explanation either).

Good luck :-) Haskell is definitely fun to learn, even if the Darcs code is
probably a bit ambitious to start with ;-)

Oh no, I am not starting with darcs (however I have copy of repository
at hand ;) ). Anyway I am really impressed with Haskell, and I am
doing much progress in no time ;) . I see a lot of application of
Haskell in my projects however I would like to embed it in other
languages (mainly Java, C# and, which may be a lot harder, Delphi) but
I can't find many resources on that. I've looked at "cahatoe" project
you've mentioned but I still can't figure out the concept of embedding
used there. Any hints?

Cheers!
  Radek.
