755833 - Please deploy the hg bookmarks extension to hg.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: General, task)

Description

[(no longer active)]

In order for us to create an hg-git mirror for the Emscripten repository, we need to have the hg bookmarks extension deployed on hg.mozilla.org, so that when I push to the Emscripten repository the bookmarks would also get synced.

I'm not sure if this can be deployed on a per-repo basis or global.  I have a test repo here http://hg.mozilla.org/users/eakhgari_mozilla.com/emscripten/, and ultimately Emscripten will live in http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/emscripten.

Ehsan,

According to to http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/BookmarksExtension this is part of core after 1.8. We're running :

# hg  --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.0.2+1-5d96444dd97d)

Which means hg bookmark is already available (without having to install anything specifically)

Where would you want me to configure this? For the emscripten repo? 

Also, on a slightly tangential note, are you aware of other efforts to sync hg and git? (there's atleast 2 more of them going on)

Oh great!  I was not aware that we've upgraded hg!  \o/

In the two reports I mentioned in comment 0 for now.

Nope, I'm not.  But I've been maintaining a git clone of mozilla-central for a while myself.  :-)

Out of curiosity, which other efforts are you mentioning?

Done. I've added :

[extensions]
bookmarks =

to the .hgrc in both those repos. Let me know if this works as expected.

I've cc'ed Hal who can probably provide you with more info :) He's working on one of these efforts himself.

And I managed to catch hal on IRC, so here's some info :

http://blog.mozilla.org/halfire/2012/01/26/releng_and_git_project/

and 

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745989 is the meta-bug it looks like.

Yep, worked perfectly.

I noticed that the hgweb interface doesn't show bookmarks though, can that be fixed as well?  (Do I need to file another bug?)

Oh, yeah, I know about Hal's effort, but it's not clear to me if that will help me here, so I guess I'll just go with my own mirroring solution.

Cool.

Hmm, sure. I _might_ have a lead on how to fix that, I'll take a look into it.
