Hi, Holger - Thanks for raising your concerns. I have some responses below.

Lele Gaifax has written a tool called tailor that allows bridging between CVS, Subversion and Mercurial. > If I recall it correctly Mercurial required Python(!!) > which is a portability NIGHTMARE. I'm sure you must have many specifics in mind; would you like to share them? I think that would be very helpful in keeping the discussion grounded in concrete terms. > - Availability: Neither Suse Linux or any BSD > variants (FreeBSD, > OpenBSD, NetBSD) provide Mercurial packages as part > of their > distributions. I'm afraid that none of these claims is actually true. Here are some pointers I found with a few simple Google searches just a moment ago: Here is the NetBSD port (Google for "netbsd mercurial"): http://pkgsrc.se/devel/mercurial The FreeBSD port (Google for "freebsd mercurial ports"): http://www.freshports.org/devel/mercurial/ The SUSE package (Google for "suse mercurial"): http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/mercurial.html Once again, thanks for your contributions to the discussion! I look forward to resolving more of your concerns. <b This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
