Mercurial update
Axel Hecht
here's a quick update on the mercurial migration:
Reed is currently going through the account creation process, and has
already created the individual repos.
I'll do the initial migration step, that is, I'll do an initial push of
a tagged version of your cvs repo.
I'll be starting with those locales that have a shipping product on cvs
trunk, i.e.:
af ar be ca cs da de el en-GB es-AR es-ES eu fi fr fy-NL ga-IE gu-IN he
hu id it ja ja-JP-mac ka ko ku lt mk mn nb-NO nl nn-NO pa-IN pl pt-BR
pt-PT ro ru sk sq sr sv-SE tr uk zh-CN zh-TW
I'm explicitly excluding those that are currently working towards a
fx3.0.x release, as that would require folks to cross commit over both
hg and cvs, which is tough. Same goes for sl and si, both of which I
know have outstanding patches.
If you want me to migrate you over, please follow up here with a good
timestamp. I'd suggest that folks don't migrate themselves, as the
migration should involve a tagging step that is just safer when done in
one go.
I'll do a follow up post on how to get stuff done once I verified that
it works as it should :-)
Any counter indications?

Yes indeed, I was just about to say the same. Please make a tutorial, a
bare minimum of the required URLs and stuff.

Will do.
I'm wondering if it's ok to do a staged approach. Maybe an MDC page that
I bootstrap with the basics, and answering questions on #l10n or #hg or
the talk page there, and to fill things up as we go.
That way those that are more tech-savvy and eager to do stuff on hg
could jump ahead and pave the way for other localizers.

There are some materials at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mercurial
Very beginning.

I wasn't asking for a Mercurial tutorial. You should only provide a
link to the docs and let the people dig in.
Rather, the project-specific things should be noted, e.g. URL's to use,
procedures to follow, possibly the verification scripts (that would, for
instance, prevent committing to closed branches) etc.

I don't intend to do the all-fitting extensive best-ever book on hg.
It's gonna start out with "here's how you get mozilla-central" and
"here's how you get your localization", and I'm going to take it from
there. And after all, MDC is a wiki, folks can just contribute :-)

Projects like KDE & GNOME have such ones.
Kind regards:

Not sure about mailing list, but there should be an rss feed available.
These are already available for mozilla-central (see feed icon at
bottom-right of http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/), and it looks
like the new l10n repositories have them as well.

Feeds exist for any use of HgWeb, and thus for all mozilla repositories.
Of note is the mozilla-specific extension, "pushlog" which includes time
for when the Hg Push was done (and thus code is available to others) at:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/index.cgi/pushloghtml
and its RSS: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/index.cgi/pushlog
All mozilla repo's /should/ have this available as well.

By account do you mean user account? I'm wondering if our CVS accounts
will be auto-migrated or whether we will have to file new bugs for that.

A few days ago when I asked that same question to Reed Loden, he told me
that all existing cvs accounts would be auto-migrated.

BugZilla (and CVS), subject was "Mozilla LDAP account info for Hg
access": they're creating a LDAP user/password to access hg (or give
permissions to your existing LDAP account if you already have one),
using the same SSH key used for the CVS account.

Actually, *have* been migrated. Auth works via your ssh key as it did
with cvs.
