If there are conflicts, you have a bunch more manual stuff to go thru (mercurial, as I recall, just does it for you - even setup the manual stuff you have to do... it's so automatic, I dont' even remember what it does!). When we go to mercurial - hopefully to bitbucket (but I'm pretty sure Massimo will wait and see what the google mercurial port offers....) then you will find a couple of things: In mercurial, you will "pull" new changes... and the same quantity will happen so fast as to make you doubt (after bzr) that it actually worked - it did. It sort of feels like this: bzr: 87 seconds; hg: [RTN]-key; done. Not quite, but very close. You get the idea. The second thing is branches: on bitbucket, you make your branch on bitbucket (no "blah branch; change; hack; change; blah ci; blah register branch on remote; blah push" --- just branch, and ! bingo - you have public branch; now just pull your own stuff to a local place...). The link is immediately obvious to everybody; you get your _own_ bug tracker and wiki to talk about what your development branch is for.... to me it feels so sweet after bzr.... and that's before considering how much more reliably it works for me from behind proxies... I think I must be doing a skewed rant, so I'll stop ;-) You know what my 85 yr. old mother asked for, for Mothers day? "Son - don't get me any flowers; just get those people over to mercurial!"..... or something like that... I think... hehehe ;-) - Yarko > > > Massimo > > > > > On May 10, 7:52 pm, Steve Shepherd <[email protected]> wrote: > > @Massimo > > > > I realise you are moving to mecurial but... > > I am interested in tryin out new 1.62 CLI feature... > > I am also want to start using wingide and they say that you need the > source > > code for web2py to get it working properly. > > Can you briefly outline where I go to download the 1.62 source? > > > > PS I am new to launchpad so the more info the better!!! > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
