I used to use mq, but have switched to evolve, and I now rely on it heavily in my workflow. So instead I would say: Please continue to offer the option to install/update evolve, but make the current issues more obvious, and maybe default it to No. And for those who still want to install it, suggest adding 'evolution.obsdiscovery = no' in the [experimental] mercurial config -- it disables the obsolescence functionality, so there's no more long waits. _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list dev-builds@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
