interfaces: make `dirstate` Protocol class methods abstract Now all known Protocol methods that should be implemented by the subclass are abstract. See cdd4bc69bfc1 for details. Note that this will break the `git` extension more, because there are a bunch of methods that aren't implemented that should be, in favor of some very old methods that won't be called (like `add()` and `drop()`). It's already broken, so I'm not taking the time to figure out how to modernize it right now. It's not detected by pytype because the only instantiation of `gitdirstate` is in `git/__init__.py`, which was already excluded from pytype checking for some other reason. AT least with this, it 1) doesn't get forgotten about, and 2) will require changing the interface if/when the core dirstate class evolves.

Requirements

Building the Inno installer requires a Windows machine.

The following system dependencies must be installed:

  • Inno Setup (http://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php) version 5.4 or newer. Be sure to install the optional Inno Setup Preprocessor feature, which is required.
  • Python 3.8+ (to run the packaging.py script)

Building

The packaging.py script automates the process of producing an Inno installer. It manages fetching and configuring non-system dependencies (such as gettext, and various Python packages). It can be run from a basic cmd.exe Window (i.e. activating the MSBuildTools environment is not required).

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

Next, invoke packaging.py to produce an Inno installer.:

$ py -3 contrib\packaging\packaging.py \
    inno --pyoxidizer-target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

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.
