Description

[Chris Cooper [:coop] (he/him)]

The versions of hg we use are all over the map. Here's a sampling of the hg versions from our various slave types:

bld-centos5-32-vmw-015:   1.6.3
bld-centos6-hp-017:       2.1.1
bld-lion-r5-041:          2.0.2
linux-ix-slave35:         1.6.3
linux64-ix-slave07:       1.6.3
moz2-darwin10-slave44:    1.7.5
mv-moz2-linux-ix-slave02: 1.6.3
mw32-ix-slave25:          1.7.5
t-r3-w764-001:            1.2.1
talos-r3-fed-036:         1.5.1
talos-r3-fed64-031:       1.5.1
talos-r3-leopard-003:     1.2.1
talos-r3-w7-005:          1.2.1
talos-r3-xp-039:          1.2.1
talos-r4-lion-037:        1.3.1
talos-r4-snow-049:        1.3.1
w64-ix-slave07:           1.5.4

glandium reported last week that he was hitting an issue using hg on a windows slave that might have been related to the version. That we haven't hit something like this before surprises me.

Let me start by asking if any of the above versions have known issues that should cause us to upgrade them immediately?

2.1.1 is the latest version on the list: should we standardize on that version?

2.3 just came out a few days ago: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WhatsNew#Mercurial_2.3_.282012-08-01.29

2.5.1 is the first that fixes the issue in bug 843081, so we should really standardise on that if possible :-)

Mozilla-build has now been updated to 2.5.1 too.

Fine by me. Any reason we wouldn't go straight to 2.5.2 though?

None that I know of - didn't realise it was out :-)

fwiw, according to the time-based schedule, 2.5.3 should get released in just over a weeks' time, which is likely the last release of the 2.5.x series, before it becomes 2.6.x.

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

seems also 2.5.4 was just released to fix a regression in merging with subrepos introduced in 2.5.

Comment 7

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Do we have steps on how to deploy this to the win7 and winxp machines?

We want to setup this up on the Win7 and WinXP iX machines.

maybe the patch/script from bug 864749 can help here

I updated the version of hg on the talos-r3-xp slaves to 2.5.4. I'm starting in on talos-r3-w7 now, but so far haven't found a way to automate the install over ssh.
