It is assumed that the version of Python running on these -systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this -writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version -of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made, -some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more -esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made -(cf. posix.py). - -By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this -extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for -HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is -enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with -the plumber(4). - -Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must -update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be -interrupted. - -Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page -references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file -formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the -Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages -are elided from the installation. - -Basic install: - - % mk install # do a system-wide install - % hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup - % hg # see help - -A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a -binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1). - -See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation -instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information. |
