packaging: consolidate CLI functionality into packaging.py...
packaging: consolidate CLI functionality into packaging.py Consolidating functionality for invoking code in the hgpackaging package through a single CLI entry point will make things simpler when we add more complexity to that package. For example, it will allow us to run things out of a virtualenv with third party packages. This commit consolidates functionality from the Inno and WiX build.py scripts into a new packaging.py script. That script simply creates a virtualenv and runs the CLI functionality in it. The new virtualenv is populated with jinja2 because I felt it easier to incorporate requirements file processing in this commit and we will soon use jinja2 in an upcoming commit. The unified CLI functionality will also make it easier to script other packaging workflows going forward. e.g. RPM, Debian, and macOS packaging.

Requirements

Building the Inno installer requires a Windows machine.

The following system dependencies must be installed:

Building

The packaging.py script automates the process of producing an Inno installer. It manages fetching and configuring the non-system dependencies (such as py2exe, gettext, and various Python packages).

The script requires an activated Visual C++ 2008 command prompt. A shortcut to such a prompt was installed with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. From your Start Menu, look for Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler Package for Python 2.7 then launch either Visual C++ 2008 32-bit Command Prompt or Visual C++ 2008 64-bit Command Prompt.

From the prompt, change to the Mercurial source directory. e.g. cd c:\src\hg.

Next, invoke packaging.py to produce an Inno installer. You will need to supply the path to the Python interpreter to use.:

$ python3.exe contrib\packaging\packaging.py \
    inno --python c:\python27\python.exe

Note

The script validates that the Visual C++ environment is active and that the architecture of the specified Python interpreter matches the Visual C++ environment and errors if not.

If everything runs as intended, dependencies will be fetched and configured into the build sub-directory, Mercurial will be built, and an installer placed in the dist sub-directory. The final line of output should print the name of the generated installer.

Additional options may be configured. Run packaging.py inno --help to see a list of program flags.

MinGW

It is theoretically possible to generate an installer that uses MinGW. This isn't well tested and packaging.py and may properly support it. See old versions of this file in version control for potentially useful hints as to how to achieve this.
