hello,
I'm one of the developers of the GNU Octave project, hosted on
Savannah. We have been recently heavily discussing future development
strategy of Octave and have come to the problem of hosting multiple
mercurial repositories on Savannah. Is it possible? What needs to be
done? We need a secondary "stable" repository. We have also considered
just using branches, but these don't solve the problem well (can't do
unsymmetric merges).

Hi,
It seems to me that we envisionned sub-repositories when setting up
mercurial support through the following layout:
/srv/hg/octave/.hg # Main
/srv/hg/octave/subrepo1/.hg
/srv/hg/octave/subrepo2/.hg
Aleix, can you confirm? :)
Hi,
yes, that was the initial idea, but as no one needed at that time and,
sincerely, I did not have much more time to work on it we just left it
for the future.
I am quite busy until end of june, so until then I think, if Sylvain
agrees, that we can do it by hand, at least for GNU Octave. I have
tested it with a project of mine and works fine.
What do you think?
Sounds good.
I created /srv/hg/octave/stable/.hg/
Thanks, it needed some permission fixes though, I have already updated them.
I'm not sure hgweb supports this though?
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/stable/ -> same as octave/
It does, but in Hg 1.2, that is,
[collections]
/srv/hg = /srv/hg/**
is sufficient (in /etc/mercurial/hgwebdir.conf).
By now, I have added an specific "paths" section:
[paths]
octave/stable = /srv/hg/octave/stable
So everything should work now.
Jaroslav, you should be able to work with octave/stable branch now. Let
me know if you have any issue.
Cheers,
Aleix
