Today i have added a feature to my hg activity extension. I have wanted to have this for long : the tags are now displayed on the graph. Here are two examples, one of the project itself, and another one on the mercurial repository, but only for the last months.
The first one was generated by:
hg [...]

This week-end we did the final conversion of the eigen2 source code repository. I shall describe here the few problems we had, as a feedback to the community.
Eigen original purpose was to help provide linear algebra for several KDE parts. As such, it was until now developed inside the KDE repository, which (still) uses subversion. [...]

Today I needed to use mercurial over IPv6 in order to share a repository which is on a computer behind an (ipv4) firewall, but that can be reached over ipv6.
The naive
hg clone ssh://orzel@ipv6computername/hg/dir
hg clone ssh://orzel@[ipv6::address]/hg/dir
miserably failed. But i was hinted on IRC (thanks ‘Ry4an’ !) on how to do this, and thought I should share [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have on a lot of different places a directory called ‘hg’ with lot of different mercurial clones inside. Whether on the home of my several computers for my own projects, or inside other directories for external projects, and so on.
Now, remember one important aspect of distributed source control [...]

While developing my recently released activity mercurial extension (and here too), I did a lot of tests on some quite famous/big projects. I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others?
warning : this is [...]

Today I have added new options to the mercurial activity extension and most importantly, it is now possible to have a different curve for each author. It looks like this :

This is something i’ve really been missing for long in mercurial : a way to display the activity of a repository. No, ‘hg churn’ is not the right answer, I want an idea of when the peaks of development happened. So I have written this small extension. It is based on matplotlib, so you’ll need [...]

Distributed source control is really great, and among them, the tool I love the most is, by far, mercurial. I use it for all my free software projects, my own non-software projects (config files, mathematical articles and such) and also, dare I say it, for my CLOSE SOURCE projects. Yes, I also do this kind [...]

As some of you might know, I had to finish my Ph.D. and it took me a lot more time than previously planned. I’m happy to tell you that it is now finished. I’m officially a doctor in the field of applied mathematics, and I have more time to dedicate to free software.
One of my [...]
