I am willing to take over this. I was in charge of the Mercurial scenarios in the PEP, so it would be natural for me to continue with the transition. In addition, I volunteer to maintain the new Mercurial installation. Off the top of my head, the following is needed for a successful migration: - Verify that the repository at http://code.python.org/hg/ is properly converted. - Convert the current svn commit hooks to Mercurial. - Add Mercurial support to the issue tracker. - Update the developer FAQ. - Setup temporary svn mirrors for the main Mercurial repositories. - Augment code.python.org infrastructure to support the creation of developer accounts. - Update the release.py script. There is probably some other things that I missed, but I think this is a good overview of what needs to be done. And of course, I would welcome anyone who would be willing to help me with the transition. -- Alexandre _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
