Committing to a Mercurial repository at Mozdev

You must first have commit access for the project. Then be sure you are committing the SSL version of the repository. You can do this several ways:

1. hg push https://hg.mozdev.org/PROJECTNAME/
2. edit your .hg/hgrc file to have a paths section similar to the following:

[paths]
default = http://hg.mozdev.org/PROJECT/
default-push = https://USER:PASS@hg.mozdev.org/PROJECT/

Mercurial client and Help Documentation links

• Mercurial (quickstart)
• Distributed Revision Control with Mercurial (hgbook)
• GUI Clients

Switching to Mercurial

First, the caveats:

• CVS is still needed to manage the project website and downloads
• the source code will not be removed from your current VCS (ie, you will still be able to commit to your existing CVS source tree and it will be available for checkout/commit)

Steps for switching:

• request a new Mercurial repository (be sure to include whether Mozdev should convert the old repository and if you want any changes in structure)
• Update your projects source.html page with new information on how to checkout your code; you can use our template as a guide
• Mozdev staff will comment on your bug when the repository is setup. Links on Mozdev's site (such as the project overview page) will be updated automatically. It is your responsiblility to update your project web pages.
