copies: fix the changeset based algorithm regarding merge In 99ebde4fec99, we changed the list of files stored into the `files` field. This lead to the changeset centric copy algorithm to break in various merge situation involving merge. Older information could reach the merge through `p1`, and while information from `p2` was strictly fresher, it would get overwritten anyway. We update the situation with more details about which revision introduces rename information. This help use making the right decision in case of merge. We are now running a more comprehensive suite of test with include this kind of situation. The behavior differ slightly from the filelog based in a couple of instance. There is mostly two distinct cases: 1) there are conflicting rename information in a merge (different rename history on each side). In this case the filelog based implementation arbitrarily pick a side based on the file-revision-number. So it depends on a local factor. The changeset centric algorithm will use a deterministic approach, by picking the information coming from the first parent of the merge. This is stable across different clone. 2) rename information related to file that exist in both source and destination. The filelog based implementation do not even try to detect these, however the changeset centric one get them for "free" (it is simpler to detect them than not). The new implementation focus on correctness. Performance improvement will come later. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8244

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.
