rust-hg-core: move from `ouroboros` to `self_cell`...
rust-hg-core: move from `ouroboros` to `self_cell` `ouroboros` has a fundamental soundness problem that, while not applicable today, could become applicable given new compiler optimizations.¹ `self_cell` is a crate that accomplishes a lot of the same things that `ouroboros` did while remaining sound (that is, unless a new soundness issue is discovered) by not assuming as much about the memory layout of the program. `self_cell` has been scrutinized heavily in the past few months by very competent people, some from the compiler team and has shown no weaknesses for a while, with a 1.0 stable release coming out a couple months ago. Our internal API is exactly the same, this is just an implementation detail. To reiterate, no actual soundness issue was found with our use of `ouroboros`, but there might be evolutions of `rustc` (or even a future separate compiler) that could generate unsound code.

Mercurial

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers.

Basic install:

$ make            # see install targets
$ make install    # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

$ make local      # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
