Please explain why http it isn't suitable for production use ? The functionality it provides is completely different to OpenGrok. OpenGrok is cscope for the web with some SCM knowledge. The web based interface to a Mercurial repo is invaluable for researching exactly when changes happened and for assisting merging of project gates with the upstream repo. They just don't provide the same functionality, it isn't in my opinion an either or but we need both. I agree that the built in 'hg serv' is not what should be used but even the official Mercurial wiki says that: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/PublishingRepositories Why can't we deploy using hgwebdir.cgi ? It could be an optin mechanism controlled from the SCM console, since ideally I'd suspect that projects would only want their "master" gate published this way rather than all repos. Pushes over http could be (probably should be) disabled. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
