-Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
-===================================
-
-This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
-platforms. 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.
