968259 - Move bzexport into version-control-tools repository

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: bzexport, defect)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

Bug 965330 created the hgcustom/version-control-tools repo. Let's put something in it. I say bzexport is a good first repo.

Proposal:

1) Run `hg convert` to dump the full history of https://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/bzexport into hgext/bzexport (or other bikeshedded path)
2) Update `mach mercurial-setup` to reference the new repo
3) Update the existing repo/extension to print an error message when loaded, directing them to the new location.

Does this sound reasonable?

Fine with me. We should make this widely known so that users of bzexport can convert. Possibly even add a nag output to the existing bzexport repo for people who update from there.

No objection here.

I performed `hg convert` and moved the full history of bzexport into hgext/bzexport. Now for the non-trivial part.

The extension now aborts at load time. The error message and
documentation references the new location.

This shouldn't be pushed until mach mercurial-setup is updated to pull
the new repo.

Wow, Splinter really blows at formatting the patch I just uploaded.

Attachment: Update mach mercurial-setup to work with new unified VCS tools repo

bzexport is now pulled from its new canonical home. The old location can
be cleaned if the user agrees to it. The new location is updated in the
hgrc.

Redirect content to new repository location

Might want to mention that you can `mach mercurial-setup` to get this installed.

With mercurial-setup reference in the bzexport push.

I updated the bzexport-specific README.

Trivial patch to make the dummy extension non-fatal.

You could have just pushed this without review. :-P
