This is my ([bma](bma@bmalee.eu)) darcs.pm - it's messy (my Perl isn't up to much) but seems to work. It uses just one repo, like the mercurial plugin (unlike the above version, which AIUI uses two).

`rcs_commit()` uses backticks instead of `system()`, to prevent darcs' output being sent to the browser and mucking with the HTTP headers (`darcs record` has no --quiet option). And `rcs_recentchanges()` uses regexes rather than parsing darcs' XML output.

Well, here's my version too. It only does getctime -- using a real XML parser, instead of regexp ugliness -- and maybe recentchanges, but that may be bitrotted, or maybe I never finished it, as I only need the getctime. As for actual commits, I have previously voiced my opinion, that this should be done by the plugin generating a patch bundle, and forwarding it to darcs in some way (`darcs apply` or even email to another host, possibly moderated), instead of the hacky direct modification of a working copy. It could also be faster to getctime in a batch. Just reading in all the changes the first time they're needed, might not be a big improvement in many cases, but if we got a batch request from ikiwiki, we could keep reaing the changes until all the files in this batch request have been met.  --[[tuomov]]
