Hi OOo Mercurial users, OOo domain developers public keys =================================
The SVN public keys of all OOo domain developers can now be used to r/w access the "outgoing" mercurial repositories on hg.services.openoffice.org via SSH (ssh://[email protected]/cws/*). It's no longer necessary to be part of the Mercurial Pilot (which has been concluded weeks ago anyway) or to contact RE if you want to try out a Mercurial based CWS. There are still some caveats with Mercurial based child workspaces as long as we still use SVN for tracking our code lines: * Your changesets will loose their identity during integration. This might create problems if you cross merged changesets between several CWSs. * Integration into SVN will lump all changeset of your CWS into one single changeset. The single changeset commit during integration will contain of course only a single commit log. We lump together all commit logs and authors of your changesets together via scripting and attach that to the commit. Alternatively REs will accept a detailed commit log supplied by you. The * Be careful with renaming files. If you do a lot of renaming you'll most probable cause a lot of stress on the integrator. Remember, the RE integrate your CWS via diff and patch. Also, all restrictions of SVN regarding the renaming of files/directories still apply. If you plan to do a lot of renaming please do it on a SVN based repository. Or better, if possible, wait for the final switch to hg. * Tinderboxes, buildbots etc are currently adapted to Mercurial, some things might not yet work. Please contact me if you have problems, suggestions etc. Regards, Heiner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
