I was wondering if you know Norm> if the opensolaris.org hg support allows this? As you discovered, the admin interface doesn't allow repos to have custom hooks. I believe there is already an RFE for this. The architecture does allow for repo-specific hooks, at least for Mercurial. This can be done by installing the hooks on the server and replacing the repo's standard .hg/hgrc with a custom hgrc, i.e., one that lists the desired hooks.

I would start with scm-migration-dev (cc'd). While the high-level description of what's needed is simple, there are a lot of details to be worked out, and scm-migration-dev is the place to do it. I'm thinking of details like - the contents of the hooks. Ideally, there would be a set of generic hooks that project leaders could enable or disable. ON has already been working on hooks that I'd hope could eventually be the basis for these hooks. - how the hooks will be packaged and managed - how much access project leaders will have to the servers for troubleshooting mike
