setup: exclude the __index__ module from itself when generating This module is generated on Windows to hold all of the extension names and the help summaries, so that they are discoverable inside the py2exe zipfile. The problem is this file is generated by dumping the disabled list, and that list comes from walking the filesystem. So once an install from source into a virtualenv created this module, then next build from source from that virtualenv would also see __index__.py in the filesystem, and include it. Clearly that's wrong because this isn't a real extension, so just filter it from the list when generating it. The Mercurial installer was unaffected by this, but the TortoiseHg package was. In the final package, `hg help -v extensions` and the panel of extensions both showed it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8142

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.
