Mercurial repo available

[Simon 'corecode' Schubert]

Hey,

I am happy and proud to announce that I am now providing a Mercurial repo (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/) which is synced regularly from the main CVS repo.

cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel

So all friends of the distributed SCM, here is what you do to get stuff going: fetch -O - http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/unsorted/mercurial.tar.gz | tar xzf -

cd mercurial
bmake install

rehash
mv /usr/src /usr/src.cvs
hg clone http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/hg/dragonfly-src /usr/src

# later...
cd /usr/src && hg pull

actually you might want to

hg clone -U http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/hg/dragonfly-src /path/to/dragonfly-src-in

and then
hg clone /path/to/dragonfly-src-in /usr/src

feedback welcome, as always.

so that you have a pristine copy of the repo locally available and have your own branch in /usr/src. Having /path/to/dragonfly-src-in and /usr/src (in general all local branches) on the same filesystem will save lots of space as mercurial can use hardlinks. For an excellent analysis of distributed SCM in general and Mercurial especially, have a look at Ollivier Robert's ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) paper for eurobsdcon 2005:
