the arch stuff (ucw--dev and ucw--dist in the repository
ucw-2004 at common-lisp.net) is fairly recent but won't be updated
anymore. we currently have these darcs repositories:

http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/repos/ucw

this is the 'stable' repository. i'll move patches over here once
they've been tested and ready for public consumpition. this repo
hasn't changed for a while and basically exists so that newbies have
some place they can download code from and have everything 'Just
Work (TM)' [in so far as anything ever just works]

http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/repos/ucw_dev

this is the 'development' repository. this may or may not work, may
contain incompatable changes, may make your computer catch fire,
etc. as soon as the new cps stuff is more or less tested i'll move it
over to here. (this is probably the ucw repo you want to follow)

http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/repos/ucw_new_cps_integration

this repository, which won't be around very long, contians those
patches to ucw which are neccessary to run ucw with the new cps
interpreter. i'm using this, as opposed to ucw_dev, because i'd like
to make sure things more or less work before breaking everything.

http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/repos/arnesi

this is the main arnesi repository. it currently cantians the _old_
cps transformer and a few other trivial patches.

http://common-lisp.net/project/bese/repos/arnesi_cps

this repository has the new cps interpreter and works with the code in
ucw_new_cps_integration. as soon as things have settled a bit and i'm
fairly confident everything works i'm going to move the code over to
the regular arnesi repository and delete this one.

so basically if you want to test out the new cps interpreter you need
to get/pull from arnesi_cps and ucw_new_cps_integration (the examples
currently all work, don't know about other code).

hope this helps.
