Mercurial: Changelog

run-tests: fix escapes with conditions Before this fix, escapes with conditions in tests failed like this on Python 3: $ $PYTHON -c 'from mercurial.utils.procutil import stdout; stdout.write(b"\xff")' - \xff (no-eol) (esc) (true !) + \xff (no-eol) (esc) The unicode_escape encoding decodes br'\xff' to u'\xff'. To convert the first 256 code points to bytes with the same ordinal, the latin-1 encoding must be used. Escapes without conditions already worked before on Python 3, but not through `el == l` a few lines below the changed line in run-tests.py. I didn’t investigate further.

convert: set LC_CTYPE around calls to Subversion bindings The Subversion bindings require that LC_CTYPE is set. However, we don’t want to set it all the time, as it changes the behavior of str methods on Python 2. The taken approach is hopefully fine-grained enough to not trigger any locale-specfic behavior of the str methods and coarse-grained enough to not clutter the code. Emulating the with-statement behavior in before() and after() should be safe, as after() is always called when before() is called. hgext.convert.hg takes a similar approach.

curses: do not initialize LC_ALL to user settings (issue6358) 701341f57ceb moved the setlocale() call to right before curses was used. This didn’t fully solve the problem it was supposed to solve (locale-dependent functions, like date formatting/parsing and str methods on Python 2), but only postponed it. Initializing LC_CTYPE seems to be sufficient for curses to work correctly. Therefore LC_CTYPE is set while curses is used and reset afterwards. Some locale-dependent str methods might behave differently on Python 2 while curses is used, but that shouldn’d be a problem.

version: sort extensions by name in verbose mode External extensions can be assigned any name, but presumably most enabled extensions will be internal ones and having them sorted makes it easier to find specific ones if the list is long. The lists in `hg help extensions` are already sorted. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8671

crecord: stop trying to import wcurses The original import of crecord in 2008 already said "I have no idea if wcurses works with crecord...". The last reference to a Python package called wcurses is https://web.archive.org/web/20101025073658/http://adamv.com/dev/python/curses/. However, the Python package from there is called "curses" and not "wcurses". I didn’t find any evidence that it ever worked.

debian: support building a single deb for multiple py3 versions Around transitions from one python minor version to another (such as 3.7 to 3.8), the current packaging can be slightly problematic - it produces a `control` file that requires that the version of `python3` that's installed be exactly the one that was used on the build machine for the `mercurial` package, by containing a line like: Depends: sensible-utils, libc6 (>= 2.14), python3 (<< 3.8), python3 (>= 3.7~), python3:any (>= 3.5~) This is because it "knows" we only built for v3.7, which is the current default on my system. By building the native components for multiple versions, we can make it produce a line like this, which is compatible with 3.7 AND 3.8: Depends: sensible-utils, libc6 (>= 2.14), python3 (<< 3.9), python3 (>= 3.7~), python3:any (>= 3.5~) This isn't *normally* required, so I'm not making it the default. For those that receive their python3 and mercurial packages from their distro, and/or don't have to worry about a situation where the team that manages the python3 installation isn't the same as the team that manages the mercurial installation, this is probably not necessary. I chose the names `DEB_HG_*` because `DEB_*` is passed through `debuild` automatically (otherwise we'd have to explicitly allow the options through, which is a nuisance), and the `HG` part is to make it clear that this isn't a "standard" debian option that other packages might respect. Test Plan: 1. "nothing changed": - built a deb without these changes - built a deb with these changes but everything at the default - used diffoscope to compare, all differences were due to timestamps 2. "explicit is the same as implicit" (single version) - built a deb with everything at the default - built a deb with DEB_HG_PYTHON_VERSIONS=3.7 - used diffoscope to compare, all differences were due to timestamps 3. "explicit is the same as implicit" (multi version) - built a deb with DEB_HG_MULTI_VERSION=1 - built a deb with DEB_HG_PYTHON_VERSIONS=3.7 - used diffoscope to compare, all differences were due to timestamps 4. (single version, 3.7) doesn't work with python3.8 - `/usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/hg debuginstall` works - `/usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/hg debuginstall` crashes 5. (multi version, 3.7 + 3.8) - `/usr/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/hg debuginstall` works - `/usr/bin/python3.8 /usr/bin/hg debuginstall` works Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8642
