phabricator: use .arcconfig for the callsign if not set locally (issue6243) This makes things easier for people working with more than one repository because this file can be committed to each repository. The bug report asks to read <repo>/.arcrc, but AFAICT, that file lives in ~/ and holds the credentials. And we already track an .arcconfig file. Any callsign set globally is still used if that is all that is present, but .arcconfig will override it if available. The idea behind letting the local hgrc override .arcconfig is that the developer may need to do testing against another server, and not dirty the working directory. Originally I was going to just try to read the callsign in `getrepophid()` if it wasn't present in the hg config. That works fine, but I think it also makes sense to read the URL from this file too. That would have worked less well because `readurltoken()` doesn't have access to the repo object to know where to find the file. Supplimenting the config mechanism is less magical because it reports the source and value of the properties used, and it doesn't need to read the file twice. Invalid hgrc files generally cause the program to abort. I only flagged it as a warning here because it's not our config file, not crucial to the whole program operating, and really shouldn't be corrupt in the typical case where it is checked into the repo.

WiX Installer

The files in this directory are used to produce an MSI installer using the WiX Toolset (http://wixtoolset.org/).

The MSI installers require elevated (admin) privileges due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries into the Windows system store. See the Inno Setup installers in the inno sibling directory for installers that do not have this requirement.

Requirements

Building the WiX installers requires a Windows machine. The following dependencies must be installed:

Building

The packaging.py script automates the process of producing an MSI installer. It manages fetching and configuring 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 MSI installer. You will need to supply the path to the Python interpreter to use.:

$ python3 contrib\packaging\packaging.py \
   wix --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. An error is raised otherwise.

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 wix --help to see a list of program flags.

Relationship to TortoiseHG

TortoiseHG uses the WiX files in this directory.

The code for building TortoiseHG installers lives at https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg-winbuild and is maintained by Steve Borho (steve@borho.org).

When changing behavior of the WiX installer, be sure to notify the TortoiseHG Project of the changes so they have ample time provide feedback and react to those changes.
