Support for mercurial
Oh well - can't await the new stuff then. :)
I knew...but I jiust must ask ,)
I'm anxious to see Mercurial support, and it's great to know you're working on it (and delays matter much less, when I know what's happening, Thanks for the Info!)
How is the development going? Are there any news about the ongoing work?
Still nothing to say? :-\
HI unexist,
Still nothing to say regarding Mercurial. It is high on our feature list, but the feature list moves slowly. We are about to open up our source code parser/line counter tool, and once the dust settles on that we may move on to revisit our source control adapters.
Hi Robin,
thanks for your reply. Can't await the Mercurial support like many others here - because converting between VCS is always a pain. Hopefully the dust settles in time. :-)
How is it going? Any progresses?
To show that not only unexist is interested: How's it going?
If you need time, that's OK (and I'm very thankful for Ohloh, even without Mercurial!), but a status would be nice.
How did it move on your feature list (if you want to disclose that)?
Best wishes,
Arne
Hi folks,
We are not working on Mercurial yet, but you are never far from our hearts :-).
Our main plan is to get the Ohloh code opened up, and we're hoping that once that happens the community will pitch in to help us add features. So there probably won't be any major new technical features for a while as we clean house and get ready for the code release. Personally, I think improving our back-end code and source control adapters is the most interesting thing to work on and would love to get started on Mercurial.
However, we do have to pay our bills, and business-related tasks always take priority. We have some development work in this category happening now. Once that side of things is squared away, we can go back to the fun stuff. I could guess how long this will take (a few months?) but things always change when you're a small company.
Robin
Hi Robin,
Many thanks for your answer!
And thanks for putting business first here. It would help nobody if you'd implement Mercurial support now and go broke right after that.
Best wishes and good luck in coding!
Arne
Can't wait for Hg support here too!
Mercurial -> GIT import code: http://repo.or.cz/w/fast-export.git
Hook it up!
+1, add support for this SCM please. :-)
+1 for mercurial :D
+1 :)
Too bad that there's nothing more to read about mercurial support after 11 month. Hopefully the feature list is going well?
+1, SymPy (http://www.sympy.org) uses hg
3 months ago they said, that they first had to take care of legal issues and that they wanted to open up their code first.
Since then, I assume they've been working on related stuff.
Is someone here with the skills (mostly Ruby as far as I know) to develop a mercurial plugin?
+1 for Mercurial.
Yes, please. Add my vote for Mercurial...
(Testing markdown here, please ignore. Is link a link?)
+1 for Mercurial Support.
+1 for mercurial support
Please +1
Oh dear! The post-notifier goes riot - maybe this will help to get Mercurial support sooner. ;)
