packaging: add support for PyOxidizer...
packaging: add support for PyOxidizer I've successfully built Mercurial on the development tip of PyOxidizer on Linux and Windows. It mostly "just works" on Linux. Windows is a bit more finicky. In-memory resource files are probably not all working correctly due to bugs in PyOxidizer's naming of modules. PyOxidizer now now supports installing files next to the produced binary. (We do this for templates in the added file.) So a workaround should be available. Also, since the last time I submitted support for PyOxidizer, PyOxidizer gained the ability to auto-generate Rust projects to build executables. So we don't need to worry about vendoring any Rust code to initially support PyOxidizer. However, at some point we will likely want to write our own command line driver that embeds a Python interpreter via PyOxidizer so we can run Rust code outside the confines of a Python interpreter. But that will be a follow-up. I would also like to add packaging.py CLI commands to build PyOxidizer distributions. This can come later, if ever. PyOxidizer's new "targets" feature makes it really easy to define packaging tasks in its Starlark configuration file. While not much is implemented yet, eventually we should be able to produce MSIs, etc using a `pyoxidizer build` one-liner. We'll get there...

Mercurial Rust Code

This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project. Rust is not required to use (or build) Mercurial, but using it improves performance in some areas.

There are currently three independent rust projects: - chg. An implementation of chg, in rust instead of C. - hgcli. A experiment for starting hg in rust rather than in python,

by linking with the python runtime. Probably meant to be replaced by PyOxidizer at some point.
  • hg-core (and hg-cpython/hg-directffi): implementation of some functionality of mercurial in rust, e.g. ancestry computations in revision graphs or pull discovery. The top-level Cargo.toml file defines a workspace containing these crates.

Using hg-core

Local use (you need to clean previous build artifacts if you have built without rust previously):

$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make local # to use ./hg
$ HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython make tests # to run all tests
$ (cd tests; HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython ./run-tests.py) # only the .t
$ ./hg debuginstall | grep rust # to validate rust is in use
checking module policy (rust+c-allow)

Setting HGWITHRUSTEXT to other values like true is deprecated and enables only a fraction of the rust code.

Developing hg-core

Simply run:

$ cargo build --release

It is possible to build without --release, but it is not recommended if performance is of any interest: there can be an order of magnitude of degradation when removing --release.

For faster builds, you may want to skip code generation:

$ cargo check

You can run only the rust-specific tests (as opposed to tests of mercurial as a whole) with:

$ cargo test --all
