ui: add new config flag for interface selection This patch introduces a new config flag ui.interface to select the interface for interactive commands. It currently only applies to chunks selection. The config can be overridden on a per feature basis with the flag ui.interface.<feature>. features for the moment can only be 'chunkselector', moving forward we expect to have 'histedit' and other commands there. If an incorrect value is given to ui.interface we print a warning and use the default interface: text. If HGPLAIN is specified we also use the default interface: text. Note that we fail quickly if a feature does not handle all the interfaces that we permit in ui.interface; in future, we could design a fallback path (e.g. blackpearl to curses, curses to text), but let's leave that until we need it.

extensions: also search for extension in the 'hgext3rd' package Mercurial extensions are not meant to be normal python package/module. Yet the lack of an official location to install them means that a lot of them actually install as root level python package, polluting the global Python package namespace and risking collision with more legit packages. As we recently discovered, core python actually support namespace package. A way for multiples distinct "distribution" to share a common top level package without fear of installation headache. (Namespace package allow submodule installed in different location (of the 'sys.path') to be imported properly. So we are fine as long as extension includes a proper 'hgext3rd.__init__.py' to declare the namespace package.) Therefore we introduce a 'hgext3rd' namespace packages and search for extension in it. We'll then recommend third extensions to install themselves in it. Strictly speaking we could just get third party extensions to install in 'hgext' as it is also a namespace package. However, this would make the integration of formerly third party extensions in the main distribution more complicated as the third party install would overwrite the file from the main install. Moreover, having an explicit split between third party and core extensions seems like a good idea. The name 'hgext3rd' have been picked because it is short and seems explicit enough. Other alternative I could think of where: - hgextcontrib - hgextother - hgextunofficial

hgext: use templatekeyword to mark a function as template keyword This patch replaces registration of template keyword function in bundled extensions by registrar.templatekeyword decorator all at once.

templatekw: use templatekeyword to mark a function as template keyword Using decorator can localize changes for adding (or removing) a template keyword function in source code. This patch also removes leading ":KEYWORD:" part in help document of each keywords, because using templatekeyword makes it useless. For similarity to decorator introduced by subsequent patches, this patch uses 'templatekeyword' instead of 'keyword' as a decorator name, even though the former is a little redundant in 'templatekw.py'. file name reason =================== ================= ================================== templatekw.py templatekeyword for similarity to others templatefilters.py templatefilter 'filter' hides Python built-in one templaters.py templatefunc 'func' is too generic
