I'm not going to log RFE's against OpenGrok because I don't want the functionality implemented in OpenGrok - IMO it isn't actually missing those features it is a different beast. What we want is plain and simply the http interface to a Mercurial repo. As is made available by 'hg serv' or the cgi equivalent or possibly even using mod_python. I've logged 5555 (yes that really is the number bugster gave me :-)) for this. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
