tarball support v0.3
Hello,
I'm slowly improving support for tarballs in Mercurial. Attached patch
is made against current tip in Matt's repository - f859e9cba1b9, and
contains everything done so far.
Changes:
- gzip and bzip2 tarballs are sent immediately without writing to
temporary files (I was wrong Matt, it can be done very easy)
- hgrc customization, you can choose which type (if any) you will support
There's no easy way to support compression levels, since TarFile open()
assume that it is 9. I tried to use gzopen(), and bz2open() methods
instead, but it seems that headers of generated archives, are missing or
wrong. We could eventually try to rewrite tarfile.py and include our own
version into Mercurial, but I don't know if it's good idea...

MERCURIAL QUICK-START Setting up Mercurial: Note: some distributions fails to include bits of distutils by default, you'll need python-dev to install. You'll also need a C compiler and a 3-way merge tool like merge, tkdiff, or kdiff3. First, unpack the source: $ tar xvzf mercurial-<ver>.tar.gz $ cd mercurial-<ver> To install system-wide: $ python setup.py install # change python to python2.3 if 2.2 is default To install in your home directory (~/bin and ~/lib, actually), run: $ python2.3 setup.py install --home=~ $ export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python # (or lib64/ on some systems) $ export PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH # add these to your .bashrc And finally: $ hg # test installation, show help If you get complaints about missing modules, you probably haven't set PYTHONPATH correctly. Setting up a Mercurial project: $ cd project/ $ hg init # creates .hg $ hg addremove # add all unknown files and remove all missing files $ hg commit # commit all changes, edit changelog entry Mercurial will look for a file named .hgignore in the root of your repository which contains a set of regular expressions to ignore in file paths. Branching and merging: $ hg clone linux linux-work # create a new branch $ cd linux-work $ <make changes> $ hg commit $ cd ../linux $ hg pull ../linux-work # pull changesets from linux-work $ hg update -m # merge the new tip from linux-work into # our working directory $ hg commit # commit the result of the merge Importing patches: Fast: $ patch < ../p/foo.patch $ hg addremove $ hg commit Faster: $ patch < ../p/foo.patch $ hg commit `lsdiff -p1 ../p/foo.patch` Fastest: $ cat ../p/patchlist | xargs hg import -p1 -b ../p Exporting a patch: (make changes) $ hg commit $ hg tip 28237:747a537bd090880c29eae861df4d81b245aa0190 $ hg export 28237 > foo.patch # export changeset 28237 Network support: # pull from the primary Mercurial repo foo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/ foo$ cd hg # export your current repo via HTTP with browsable interface foo$ hg serve -n "My repo" -p 80 # pushing changes to a remote repo with SSH foo$ hg push ssh://user@example.com/~/hg/ # merge changes from a remote machine bar$ hg pull http://foo/ bar$ hg update -m # merge changes into your working directory # Set up a CGI server on your webserver foo$ cp hgweb.cgi ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi foo$ emacs ~/public_html/hg/index.cgi # adjust the defaults For more info: Documentation in doc/ Mercurial website at http://selenic.com/mercurial Mercurial wiki at http://selenic.com/mercurial/wiki
