fwiw hg's scripts end up being terribly slow. we're suffering from them at mozilla.org http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/issue1310 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459823 I've actually spent time writing bonsai code to offer the features that we expect and don't get reasonably well from hgweb. I have enough pieces on konigsberg in case someone wants to see a comparison (even for opensolaris, i have some indexes for onnv). note that konigsberg is typically by invitation only so you need to contact me, it's a staging server and not designed to serve millions of spiders+hackers. > The functionality it provides is completely different to OpenGrok. yes. > They just don't provide the same functionality, it isn't in my opinion > an either or but we need both. you do need one of each yes (i work on mxr / bonsai which compete w/ OpenGrok/hgweb) > Why can't we deploy using hgwebdir.cgi ? hgwebdir has major limitations which we've also hit, the templates don't have useful or reasonable support for directories containing hg repos. you can see this disaster at: http://hg.mozilla.org/ http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/ http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.1/ note that while releases/ is advertised, IT gave up trying to advertise l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 - n.b. if someone can figure out a reasonable fix for this, I'd be happy to see it fixed. I'm a pragmatist, give me something that works. > Pushes over http could be (probably should be) disabled. there also was an amusing push/clone bug: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/issue1320 it's fixed in crew but i believe not in release _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list website-discuss@opensolaris.org
