Hello,

I'm Darcheology, a new tool for managing and exploring darcs repositories. I help you leverage the unique features of darcs, and its truly distributed nature, letting you find and interact with repositories anywhere in the world.

Oh, and I'm free, as in beer and speech.

I hope we'll be friends.

Darcheology is currently in alpha, and many of the basics are working. But, Darcheology needs some help to pop to the next level and bring in support for darcs 2, core animation, peer to peer collaboration and lots of other good stuff, along with performance improvements. Maybe you're a darcs fan and an Objective-C programmer?

Download the latest Darcheology Alpha

Darcheology-0.9.9a20.dmg

You'll need darcs installed in one of the more common locations (/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/:~/bin:/opt/local/bin) to run Darcheology the first time. Once you have it going, you can set a preference to point to wherever you like darcs installed. You can use this package installer for Intel Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) if you want to get up and running quickly. You can also use MacPorts to build your own or build darcs from source yourself, if you like that kind of thing ;-)

Darcheology uses Sparkle to update itself, so if you're using it, you'll get an automatic update to the beta release. If you're not using the alpha but still want to know when the beta is ready, then subscribe below.
