NetBSD and Mercurial
One year later
pkgsrcCon 2018
Why Mercurial?
- It can do (almost) all things Git can do
- ...often better
- ...like safe rebase including public colaboration
- Somewhat slower startup, but fast enough
- Consistent UX, slowly improving over time
What's new?
- hgmaster.NetBSD.org and anonhg.NetBSD.org are up and running:
- hg clone ssh://hgmaster.NetBSD.org/src
- hg clone https://anonhg.NetBSD.org/src
- source-changes-hg@NetBSD.org and pkgsrc-changes-hg@NetBSD.org await subscriptions
What's next?
- pullbundles on hgmaster is still missing, so clones still slower than necessary
- anonssh for anonhg is also still missing
- import evolve into pkgsrc [done]
- documentation, documentation, documentation...
