I'm alive, but I don't have much time to spend on clbuild.

What that means is that I'm trying to merge patches, but I can only do
so if it's very easy for me.

"Very easy" for me are patches that are arriving as pull requests, i.e.

  1. The patch submitter records the patch using darcs

  2. Publishes his repository on any webserver

  3. Sends mail to the list, pointing to the repository, requesting
     that patches be pulled and moved over to the main repository

  4. The patch must not include changes to the 'dependencies' file,
     because that is being autogenerated in a separate step.

     (A separate patch to dependencies is fine, I can skip that.)

  5. Each patch should be self-contained, i.e. must not change two
     projects at once.

Anyone following these steps has a good chance that I'll type "darcs
pull" and try those patches.

Anything else (inline patches, lists of URLs, ...) is unlikely to get my
attention.


I know that the webpage doesn't have the full instructions and just says
something like "send a note to the list", but unfortunately that's
outdated.
