worker: raise exception instead of calling sys.exit() with child's code...
worker: raise exception instead of calling sys.exit() with child's code When a worker process returns an error code, we would call `sys.exit()` with that exit code on the main process. The `SystemExit` exception would then get caught in `scmutil.callcatch()`, which would return that error code. The comment there says "Commands shouldn't sys.exit directly", which I agree with. This patch changes it so we raise a specific exception when a worker fails so we can catch instead. I think that means that `SystemExit` is now always an internal error. (I had earlier thought that this call to `sys.exit()` was from within the child process until Matt Harbison made me look again, so thanks for that!)

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.
