Are there any plans of inclusion replacement/substitution abilities in TRE (and in this version of agrep)?

That would be pretty!

Thank you!

As I still got a darcs backup of yours from a few weeks before your move, I migrated it to git/github and applied my own patches/fixes to it here: https://github.com/GerHobbelt/libtre

I remember that some bug fixes were suggested on the mailing list. Would it be possible for you to upload the list archive so we could merge those with the current version until you have the repository and mailing list servers back up and running?

This might be of help for deciding, in case you had not seen it.

Hi Ville.
Looking forward to this, sounds like a good move. Great with a bug tracker and for you to cut down on unnecessary administration.

Trac is nice, but I’m really looking to cut down the time I need to spend on system administration. A fully hosted free service seems like a winner. At the moment, I’m leaning towards Bitbucket.

Trac offers both: darcs support and a bug tracker, but requires that you maintain your own infrastructure. If you decide to switch to Mercurial or git (I like Mercurial), I suggest to switch to a github or bitbucket, because they allow users to easily fork and host their own repositories. github really accelerated Ruby development. If you are looking for a free hosting platform, Savannah is a good choice (there was also a request for darcs support). Debian's Alioth also supports darcs, but I don't if they do for external projects.

Matthias, thanks for the link. On the scale of features needed for TRE project hosting, a bug tracker trumps Darcs support. I still think Darcs has the simplest and most natural command line interface. Alas, Darcs is not as popular as Mercurial or Git.

If you want to continue using darcs, you could try Patch-Tag, but they don't have a bug tracker yet.
