Early move to hg.python.org for Jython?

by Frank Wierzbicki :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

The move for Python to hg.python.org is currently stalled on a
requirement to enforce newline styles in their repository.  We
currently do not attempt to control line endings in the way that they
do.

Given this, on IRC the other day Philip Jenvey suggested that we might
move to hg.python.org *before* Python makes the move.  This would have
the advantage of testing out the python.org infrastructure on our
project, which has a much smaller history to deal with.  And it gets
us onto a DVCS, which I believe is the future for open source projects
since it (IMO) lowers barriers to contribution.

Dirkjan Ochtman has offered to help, and has suggested that we use the
new subrepo feature of hg, which will give us a reasonable
svn:externals replacement (as I understand it).

So who is interested?  I believe I am.  Unfortunately there are some
bits of our branching history that cause some trouble, but again
Dirkjan has offered to take a look at the troubles (And if that
doesn't work, I may try to do some svn dump hacking).

The soonest that I'd consider doing this is after 2.5.1 is released.
Given the above, it would likely take longer (with a test repo for a
while, etc)

Thoughts?

I am very much in favor of this early move. Mercurial is robust, so it's just a question of capturing this history. With Dirkjan's able help, I'm quite confident of this process. And it will also help the Python community as a whole.

I think it's a great idea!

+1

I also like the idea of using the new subrepo feature. I've tried it out a bit, it's not as powerful as svn:externals (yet), but it's good enough for us.

Has anyone tried the eclipse / hg, or netbeans / hg integration ?
I desperately need an IDE to access the repo :-)

Otherwise, no objections.

Best wishes,
Oti.

I use netbeans with hg for most of my projects, and it works very well.

So well, its kinda painful to go back to using svn when doing jython
devel, so this move also gets a big +1 from me.

I suppose the only risk is that the cpython folks come across some
showstopper that completely prevents them from using mercurial, and
we're left as the only ones using it.

But I think that's *highly* unlikely.

So given that the move to hg is going to happen sooner or later, why
not sooner? We'll be in a quiet period once the 2.5 series has settled
down, so it's the ideal time.

Even if it takes the cpython folks several months to move to mercurial
from subversion, it should still be straightforward for us to push
stuff upstream to them, regardless of what we're using.

So, +1 from me.

Alan.

+1 Great idea!

I also use the Netbeans hg integration for my projects at work and it does a fine job.
