Hi All,

As part of the oi_151 sustaining work I'm tidying up hg.openindiana.org

We're abandoning mercurial patch queues in favor of branches in clones for 
managing releases, which will make things much easier.

I've created a sustaining/oi_151a directory which contains the gates we're 
using to build oi_151a, and will be importing the relevant patch queues here as 
real commits, and then moving the queues to an archive directory. I've already 
done this for sfw-gate:

http://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/sfw-gate/

Also later today I'd like to create two new directories, "upstream" and 
"projects" and move all the upstream gates we're syncing into upstream, and for 
example move things like oi-sfe-tools, to projects/sfe.

I'm also going to be sorting the security/permissions out. I'm going to set all 
the upstreams read-only because nobody should be pushing to these. I'm then 
going to abandon the hg user and set up individual users for everybody and add 
these to groups, and use ZFS ACLs to delegate permissions to these groups. This 
way we'll be able to determine who can commit to what by editing /etc/group

If anyone is currently syncing against hg.openindiana.org, you'll need to 
update your .hg/hgrc files to reflect the new location after these changes, and 
if you're pushing, you'll need to give a username. If you have any problems 
after I make the changes please mail me directly or catch me on IRC and I'll 
fix things.

Lastly If anyone has any objections/suggestions to the above changes, let me 
know. I think it's quite important we tidy hg.openindiana.org up as it's a bit 
of a mess at present.

Cheers,

Alasdair
