packaging: support building Inno installer with PyOxidizer...
packaging: support building Inno installer with PyOxidizer We want to start distributing Mercurial on Python 3 on Windows. PyOxidizer will be our vehicle for achieving that. This commit implements basic support for producing Inno installers using PyOxidizer. While it is an eventual goal of PyOxidizer to produce installers, those features aren't yet implemented. So our strategy for producing Mercurial installers is similar to what we've been doing with py2exe: invoke a build system to produce files then stage those files into a directory so they can be turned into an installer. We had to make significant alterations to the pyoxidizer.bzl config file to get it to produce the files that we desire for a Windows install. This meant differentiating the build targets so we can target Windows specifically. We've added a new module to hgpackaging to deal with interacting with PyOxidizer. It is similar to pyexe: we invoke a build process then copy files to a staging directory. Ideally these extra files would be defined in pyoxidizer.bzl. But I don't think it is worth doing at this time, as PyOxidizer's config files are lacking some features to make this turnkey. The rest of the change is introducing a variant of the Inno installer code that invokes PyOxidizer instead of py2exe. Comparing the Python 2.7 based Inno installers with this one, the following changes were observed: * No lib/*.{pyd, dll} files * No Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest * No msvc{m,p,r}90.dll files * python27.dll replaced with python37.dll * Add vcruntime140.dll file The disappearance of the .pyd and .dll files is acceptable, as PyOxidizer has embedded these in hg.exe and loads them from memory. The disappearance of the *90* files is acceptable because those provide the Visual C++ 9 runtime, as required by Python 2.7. Similarly, the appearance of vcruntime140.dll is a requirement of Python 3.7. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8473

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this
extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for
HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is
enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with
the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must
update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be
interrupted.

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

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