This week I made some patches for Sphinx, and was introduced to bitbucket.org that way (where Sphinx is). I was surprised how fast, and how easy it way (pushing to launchpad is still touchy - too often I can't get it to authenticate - and sometimes it does --- feels buggy from somewhere, probably my pc...)
The bitbucket features had several that solved some problems for our Python 3 Patterns & Idioms book project, so just today we moved it from Launchpad to Bitbucket.... incredibly easy move. Work on bitbucket is easier, because when I fork (make a branch) it populates my bitbucket branch, and immediately makes any repository available as a zip/bz2/gz archive on demand. For Massimo this means all he has to do is (either): pull your branch from bitbucket w/ hg, or grab a zip - either way he can merge, test locally - and push his desired result to his branch on launchpad. To make things even easier for him, create an account on launchpad, and (since it doesn't populate branches - this is convenient) and a branch there --- just never put anything in that branch. To ask him to merge, create the merge form on launchpad, and in your comments put the hyperlink to your bitbucket branch - easy as py! ;-) Since someone else is making a mirror on git (this sort of troubles me), I should put working copies on bitbucket (my new favorite place) --- but, as Massimo pointed out - it is VERY important to MIRROR - that is, keep it up to date. This, then would give others who use mercurial easy forking (branching) option. I'll think about this, because keeping an up-to-date mirror is a task. (Anybody want to build a pull/push mirroring pipeline appliance? That could be useful).
