tests: on windows, run command explicitly in sh for working command substitution On windows, os.system runs the command in cmd.exe, which does not know command substitution. To let this work, run the command explicitly in sh. This fixes the failure of this test on windows.

tests: test-module-imports.t works on windows (with backslash path sep) Transform the backslashes to slashes on windows, because they are eaten up by the shell. (Similar as done in test-check-pyflakes.t.) This test will not produce a traceback on windows anymore. But the test still fails because the detected mixed imports differ.

qimport: allow importing URLs

revset: fixed bug where revset returning order was being changed Some revsets were innecesarily turning the subset into a set before iterating over it. This led to returning order changing in some cases.

itersubrepos: move to scmutil to break a direct import cycle

import-checker: handle standard modules with arch in the filename Installations with module names like /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/bz2.x86_64-linux-gnu.so occurs in the wild. Let's just ignore everything after first '.' when guessing the Python module name.

tests: use ls instead of find, all files are in the same directory In this case find has no advantage compared to ls. Descending into directories is unnecessary, because there are none.

commands: hg debuginstall checks missing templates (issue4151) Missing templates where not reported as a problem, only an empty bracket were shown as indication of no found template directory: $ hg debuginstall *...some lines* checking templates ()... *...some lines* no problems detected Now the problem is reported and extended with some information. The style of the messages is adapted to the other messages of debuginstall. When no templates directories exist, it writes: $ hg debuginstall *...some lines* checking templates ()... no template directories found (templates seem to have been installed incorrectly) *...some lines* 1 problems detected, please check your install! When the template map is not found, it writes: $ hg debuginstall *...some lines* checking templates (/path/to/mercurial/templates)... template 'default' not found (templates seem to have been installed incorrectly) *...some lines* 1 problems detected, please check your install! When the template map is buggy the message is the same as before. The error message is shown before the line "(templates seem ...)". No test is added because testing this failure is complicated. It would require to modify the templates directory of the mercurial installation, or to monkey patch a function (os.listdir or any from mercurial.templater) by a test extension.

contrib/Makefile.python: build local Python from source This provides an easy way to install new or old Python versions on Unixish systems. It is mainly intended for testing Mercurial with different Python versions. Example: $ cd build $ make -f ../contrib/Makefile.python python PYTHONVER=2.4 PREFIX=/tmp/p24 $ /tmp/p24/bin/python -V Python 2.4 Tested on Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu with Python versions from 2.4 to 2.7.6. Most Python versions need some workarounds to compile on Debian-ish systems. The workarounds do not do any significant harm on Fedora.

tests: use small conditional section for tic requirement in test-status-color.t Better test coverage when curses not is available.

import-checker: show stdlib and relative imports separately Make the output more useful for debugging problems.

tests: improved test coverage for HTTP authentication and 401 responses Dump the access log to verify that the client gets the 401s it deserves and handles them correctly. This establishes a baseline for Basic authentication protocol.

tests: ignore http tests that are known wontfix failures on python 2.4 As mentioned on http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2739#c17 , b3083042bdda left test-http.t failing on Python < 2.4.3. That has not been noticed because most 2.4 testing has been done with a patched 2.4.2. This makes sure that the tests only are run for Python >= 2.4.3. That makes it possible to verify that everything else works with Python 2.4.

import-checker: fix names of dynamically loaded modules The import checker found standard library modules such as lib-dynload/zlibmodule.so but saw that as a 'zlibmodule' module, not as the 'zlib' module. Debian ships Python with most modules built-in and this incorrect handling of dynamic modules did thus not cause problems on that platform. Fedora ships Python with as many modules as possible loaded dynamically. That made the import checker tests fail with incorrect classification of the following modules: array fcntl grp itertools time zlib. This change makes test-module-imports.t pass on Fedora.
