Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

As we start work on Moz2 we'd like to be able to land things in Mercurial. Is this do-able?

how do you want this laid out?  Check out http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/

Would something like http://hg.mozilla.org/build work?  Please keep in mind that there are no ACLs in place for the hg repos.  This is a know limitation.  So, anyone with access to Hg, can technically checkin to the repo.

You can maintain a per-repo acl, but thats not there by default.

If hg.mozilla.org/build works, let me know.  

Also remember that you will not be able to create top level repos in this space,  you'd have to log a bug everytime you want something created there.  

You can always create user level repos anytime (repos like hg.mozilla.org/users/bhearsum_mozilla.com/blah)

Let me know how you would like to proceed with this.

If I understand this correctly, you would be creating a top-level build directory (not a repository) that would contain repositories. I'm also wondering about creating one build repository that contains many different things (similar to mozilla/tools in CVS currently). What do other Build folk think about this?

Yes, I can create a top level build directory and then create build related repos in there.  Still waiting to know, what your plans/goals are for this stuff.

Please re-open this bug once you have an idea of what the repo should look like.

I haven't heard any objections, so let's go ahead and create a top-level 'build' directory. Can you also create a 'buildbot-configs' repository underneath it?

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Done. http://hg.mozilla.org/build is now live.  There is an empty buildbot-configs repo there as well.  Your e-mail address is your Hg login.  Your account should have Hg attributed enabled for it to work with out Mercurial repo.  Please file separate bugs if you don't have access.
