Hi,

I posted this message in https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3082 but 
apparently, it's better to post it in this list, so here it is:

As explained here 
https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket, Mercurial 
features and repositories will be officially removed from Bitbucket and its API 
on June 1, 2020.

I guess you thought about what to do for PyPy repository and PyPy development.

I am also a Mercurial user and I am facing the same problem for some 
repositories. Thus, I am very interested to know what you plan to do.

In particular, I am looking for a good forge for the Transonic project 
(https://transonic.readthedocs.io), which by the way is compatible with PyPy3.6 
(currently only the nightly builds) and could help a wider adoption of PyPy3 
for projects using the Python scientific stack (just by accelerating the 
numerical kernels using Numpy and let PyPy accelerate pure Python code).

I follow the Heptapod project https://heptapod.net/ (a friendly fork of GitLab 
to bring very good Mercurial support). It seems to me that it starts to be 
nearly production ready and that it would nicely fit your workflow with 
Mercurial.

Of course, it would be very convenient if a common instance (free to use for 
simple users until a certain point) could be setup (something somehow similar 
to Github, but with Mercurial support). Even for PyPy, it would be good in 
terms of visibility.

I also heard that your repository would have to be fixed to be able to use 
Heptapod.

What is the current status of these issues for PyPy? Have you already decided 
what to do?

Best regards,
Pierre

Hi Pierre. We have not formulated an official PyPy strategy. We do have some general guidelines and thoughts that we put up here https://etherpad.net/p/Alternatives_to_hosting_PyPy_on_BitBucket, but no conclusions yet. Most of us are hopeful heptopod will provide a viable solution. They seem to have fixed the blockers so our repo can be used as-is, I would like to see some kind of mutual support group, are there other projects that would very much prefer to stay on mercurial?
