status: prefer relative paths in Rust code … when the repository root is under the current directory, so the kernel needs to traverse fewer directory in every call to `read_dir` or `symlink_metadata`. Better yet would be to use libc functions like `openat` and `fstatat` to remove such repeated traversals entirely, but the standard library does not provide APIs based on those. Maybe with a crate like https://crates.io/crates/openat instead? Benchmarks of `rhg status` show that this patch is neutral in some configurations, and makes the command up to ~20% faster in others. Below is semi-arbitrary subset of results. The four numeric columns are: time (in seconds) with this changeset’s parent, time with this changeset, time difference (negative is better), time ratio (less than 1 is better). ``` mercurial-dirstate-v1 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.0061 -> 0.0059: -0.0002 (0.97) mercurial-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.0029 -> 0.0028: -0.0001 (0.97) mozilla-dirstate-v1 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.2110 -> 0.2102: -0.0007 (1.00) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-clean.ignored.pbr | 0.0489 -> 0.0401: -0.0088 (0.82) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.0479 -> 0.0393: -0.0085 (0.82) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-large.all.pbr | 0.1262 -> 0.1210: -0.0051 (0.96) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-small.ignored-unknown.pbr | 0.1262 -> 0.1200: -0.0062 (0.95) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-small.ignored.pbr | 0.0536 -> 0.0417: -0.0119 (0.78) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-copies-small.no-iu.pbr | 0.0482 -> 0.0393: -0.0089 (0.81) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-clean.ignored.pbr | 0.0518 -> 0.0402: -0.0116 (0.78) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.0481 -> 0.0392: -0.0088 (0.82) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-large.all.pbr | 0.1271 -> 0.1218: -0.0052 (0.96) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-small.ignored-unknown.pbr | 0.1225 -> 0.1202: -0.0022 (0.98) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-small.ignored.pbr | 0.0510 -> 0.0418: -0.0092 (0.82) mozilla-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-small.no-iu.pbr | 0.0480 -> 0.0394: -0.0086 (0.82) netbeans-dirstate-v1 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.1442 -> 0.1422: -0.0020 (0.99) netbeans-dirstate-v2 | default-plain-clean.no-iu.pbr | 0.0325 -> 0.0282: -0.0043 (0.87) ``` Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12175

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.:

$ py -3 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.
