This sounds like a one time "register the thing with selenic" thing. There isnt so much of a "participation". It would be very nice if our mecury package maintainer (*cough*) would submit the requested file to them :) Based on the url given, it looks like you would just provide a couple of lines, which would then get included in their "latest.dat" file, to autodetect, "Hmmm, I see your browser is running on 'Solaris'. Here are the registered providers of 'Solaris packages'" The only non-trivial thing, is in deciding what url to give them. The easy choice, would be http://www.opencsw.org/packages/mercurial . Once we (William?) fix up our "packages" page to make it more obvious at the top of the page, [blink][bold][blue] To download a working package, Do This...[/blue][/bold][/blink] It looks like our mercurial package has on the order of 15 required dependencies. ... > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: David Champion <[email protected]> > Date: Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 19:35 > Subject: Re: Mercurial 1.7.2 released > To: Pascal Quantin <[email protected]>, "rupert.thurner" > <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > > If you guys want to produce a latest.dat file with descriptive metadata > for these packages (see mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BinaryReleasePlan) > and let Matt know about them, then these packages could be listed on the > Mercurial web site. > > _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
