Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.4 branch
Another Django release, another branch, another mercurial mirror… Cloning this one will costs you ~35Mb on your hard disk, compared to 167Mb for the official django mirror. This is updated once a day from the official svn, and it’s gonna stay for a long time : https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.4-production/ For some reason, the 1.4 branch was not […]

New lightweight admin-oriented linux kernel mercurial mirror
On most servers I’m responsible for, I use to compile my own kernels. Instead of downloading/applying patches, which is cumbersome, I was using the (now broken) mercurial mirror http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6 It was great as i just had to do something like “hg pull -u; hg up -r v2.6.xx” to update my tree. Though, this has several […]

A small step forward for the mercurial activity plugin, releasing version 2.0
As time goes, my mercurial ‘activity’ plugin has got more and more options. Useful and requested options of course, but still it kinda clobber the –help output and it is more and more cumbersome to play with. This is why I have introduced a new frontend, based on Qt, to play/decide about those options. First, […]

Mercurial mirror for Django stable branch 1.3
Django recently released the 1.3 version, and as such a new ‘stable’ branch was created in subversion. As I did for the 1.2 branch, there’s now a mercurial mirror, following the 1.3 branch. It is updated every (european) night. The 1.2 mirror is not removed, it is still running and maintained. The url for this […]

New mercurial mirror for Django stable branch 1.2
I have tried for the last few years to use one of the mercurial mirrors on bitbucket.org to follow Django. Since far before Django 1.0 was released, I was following trunk, but I have switched to the stable branch around Django 1.1. I’ve always had problems with the mirrors on bitbucket, they seem mostly unmaintained. […]

tags displayed in hg activity extension
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 […]

feedback about converting eigen2 to mercurial
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 […]

mercurial and ipv6
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 […]

Mercurial bulk update
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 […]

Activities gallery
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 […]
