We've been getting our source-code repo services from Alioth; its service has deteriorated to the point of making a move necessary: So, from now on, the "master" repositories for XEmacs and its packages will reside on Bitbucket. We're taking this opportunity to also move the packages from CVS on Alioth to Mercurial on Bitbucket. Here's what you need to know: * Pointing your existing XEmacs repo at bitbucket In your existing repo, edit .hg/hgrc to contain this: [paths] default = https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs If you have commit access, you should use: [paths] default = ssh://hg＠bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs * Checking out a fresh XEmacs repo Do this: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs or, if you have commit access: hg clone ssh://hg＠bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs * Checking out the packages Do this: hg clone https://bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs-packages or, if you have commit access: hg clone ssh://hg＠bitbucket.org/xemacs/xemacs-packages Note: You need at least Mercurial 1.3 for this, preferably a later version, as all the individual packages reside in subrepositories. * Getting push access Get an account on bitbucket.org. Send e-mail to Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org&gt; informing him of the account name, and what exactly you need access for. * Notes on the packages subrepositories The packages repository is organized as the xemacs-packages "master" repository and one subrepository per package. This means that each revision of xemacs-packages contains references to specific revisions of the subrepositories. More info on subrepositories is available as the output of "hg help subrepos" or here: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Subrepository If you're working on an individual package, just run "hg commit" *within the directory of that package* and also run "hg push" from there. Then tell Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org&gt; about it (as usual), who will make sure that the set of packages referenced from "xemacs-packages" is consistent and push from there. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
