After fiddling with the repository a bit, I found out that
common-lisp.net has darcs version 1 installed, causing my version 2
repository to fail. What I ended up doing to fix the problem was to
install the newest darcs in ~/bin, and added it to PATH in ~/.profile
to allow me to use the new version.

Is this the right thing to do? Does anyone else on common-lisp.net use
darcs 2? What do they do to solve this? (And would it cause any
incompatibilities with old projects to upgrade the darcs
installation?)

After reading the darcs manual, I linked my repository into the
~/public_html directory to make it publicly available. I believe this
is the correct way to do this, but if there is a better way, I'd like
to hear of it.

Thanks.
