I asked sometime in 2024 and I got a pretty clear response that local/self hosting is not planned.

> That's how I look when I'm excited I can confirm this (we've worked together)

Or listen to Daniel Berlin, who's both an accomplished GCC hacker and a lawyer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9956542 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13979443 This isn'…

1) hg absorb 2) hg-git exists, and there's other things afoot that should be better

Please feel encouraged to report a bug about histedit slowness with some details so we can try and reproduce and consider a fix.

Piper still exists, but Mercurial is a viable client tool to interact with Piper's version history.

Sounds a lot like https://twitter.com/indygreg/status/1028097388261433344 - I'm pretty sure Greg was working with hg when he noticed this issue. In any event, if you're enthusiasti…

How long ago was this? And what OS? I know we're faster than unzip on some platforms, but IIRC we just found a pretty awful performance issue on...linux? I think?... that meant our…

You might find https://github.com/jcs/bitwarden-ruby an interesting hosting alternative, FWIW.

> rewrite a large part of hg in Rust That's not really the right story. The motivating factor is that we'd like to write /less C/, not /less Python/. It's likely in the long-term t…

Last I knew it worked fine, but hg doesn't tend to run long enough for the JIT to warm up enough and be an unambiguous win. Fijal complemented us on how good our C was. I think it …

Go isn't really a huge win for hg, and it doesn't support being used as a shared library, so we couldn't easily use it as a replacement for C for native extensions. main() has to b…

There's pretty broad consensus that we'd like to do Rust and not C for future extension work, but the current plan is that a pure-Python hg will also be something we support. The "…

I wouldn't worry. It sounds very similar to what's been in Apache2 for years: http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Patent_clauses_in_software_licences...

All the communities I know that are centered around diff-in-email patch review are quite frustrated by the available GUI tools (most of them are only good for one patch at a time, …

That's actually pretty comparable to how we tend to operate the Mercurial project, FYI. We tend to prefer rebase to merge for feature work.

Sprints are twice a year, once in the US and once in Europe.

That's pretty standard as the assumed interest rate for investing in index funds over a long period.

It's likely that Mercurial would scale for you today, using Facebook's stack. Drop me an email if you'd like to chat sometime.

It's not a fork - they've got some extensions for some special things, yes, but they're running mostly stock Mercurial.

Some game shops have had good luck with Mercurial's largefiles extension, for what it's worth.

We've been uploading to PyPI as part of our release process for quite some time, and our own server is hosted on public infra now instead of on a privately managed machine. :)

Nope. mpm has been wanting to move on for a while, it's only recently that he's published plans more publicly.

I mentioned this over on lobste.rs, but I'll mention it here in brief: fair.io does a really bad job of stating this intent. The elevator pitch mentions open source but not proprie…

I was excited by this project until I saw the license, and then I decided to not touch it at all until lawyers look at the license.
