Hi Faheem et al,
Thanks for these links. The fact that the debian packaging for hg 3.2 is
available and there are no Ubuntu specific changes in the ubuntu packaging
makes the prospect of rebuilding it myself seem much more doable. However,
if I get into this, then it seems to make more sense to set myself up with
an Ubuntu PPA and do this publicly rather than locally here at work. No
sense in others having to duplicate this work yet again. That of course
means I have to learn about maintaining PPAs (I'm well familiar with how to
USE them).
To make this managable, I'd need some way of being notified of commits to
the packaging repo you linked above. Do you know of any lists or so that
one can subscribe to for this? Also we do need toirtoisehg. Is there a
similar packaging repo (with announce list of some kind) for thg? Lastly,
since the goal of all of this is to get easy access to the evolve
extension, I'd be looking at packaging that as well so I can easily roll it
out to my 45 machines. I assume that at this stage there is no packaging
repo for evolve?! In that case, is there some kind of announce list for the
evolve repo itself that would make it easier for me to decide when to pull
and re-package the extension?
I'm sure I can and will certainly try to find answers to these questions
myself online. So if you don't know the answers, ignore them. But if you
can answer them off-hand, that would be awesome.
Cheers,
Seb
