inno: script to automate building Inno installer...
inno: script to automate building Inno installer The official Inno installer build process is poorly documented. And attempting to reproduce behavior of the installer uploaded to www.mercurial-scm.org has revealed a number of unexpected behaviors. This commit attempts to improve the state of reproducibility of the Inno installer by introducing a Python script to largely automate the building of the installer. The new script (which must be run from an environment with the Visual C++ environment configured) takes care of producing an Inno installer. When run from a fresh Mercurial source checkout with all the proper system dependencies (the VC++ toolchain, Windows 10 SDK, and Inno tools) installed, it "just works." The script takes care of downloading all the Python dependencies in a secure manner and manages the build environment for you. You don't need any additional config files: just launch the script, pointing it at an existing Python and ISCC binary and it takes care of the rest. The produced installer creates a Mercurial installation with a handful of differences from the existing 4.9 installers (produced by someone else): * add_path.exe is missing (this was removed a few changesets ago) * The set of api-ms-win-core-* DLLs is different (I suspect this is due to me using a different UCRT / Windows version). * kernelbase.dll and msasn1.dll are missing. * There are a different set of .pyc files for dulwich, keyring, and pygments due to us using the latest versions of each. * We include Tcl/Tk DLLs and .pyc files (I'm not sure why these are missing from the existing installers). * We include the urllib3 and win32ctypes packages (which are dependencies of dulwich and pywin32, respectively). I'm not sure why these aren't present in the existing installers. * We include a different set of files for the distutils package. I'm not sure why. But it should be harmless. * We include the docutils package (it is getting picked up as a dependency somehow). I think this is fine. * We include a copy of argparse.pyc. I'm not sure why this was missing from existing installers. * We don't have a copy of sqlite3/dump.pyc. I'm not sure why. The SQLite C extension code only imports this module when conn.iterdump() is called. It should be safe to omit. * We include files in the email.test and test packages. The set of files is small and their presence should be harmless. The new script and support code is written in Python 3 because it is brand new and independent code and I don't believe new Python projects should be using Python 2 in 2019 if they have a choice about it. The readme.txt file has been renamed to readme.rst and overhauled to reflect the existence of build.py. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6066

Mercurial Rust Code

This directory contains various Rust code for the Mercurial project.

The top-level Cargo.toml file defines a workspace containing all primary Mercurial crates.

Building

To build the Rust components:

$ cargo build

If you prefer a non-debug / release configuration:

$ cargo build --release

Features

The following Cargo features are available:

localdev (default)

Produce files that work with an in-source-tree build.

In this mode, the build finds and uses a python2.7 binary from PATH. The hg binary assumes it runs from rust/target/<target>hg and it finds Mercurial files at dirname($0)/../../../.

Build Mechanism

The produced hg binary is bound to a CPython installation. The binary links against and loads a CPython library that is discovered at build time (by a build.rs Cargo build script). The Python standard library defined by this CPython installation is also used.

Finding the appropriate CPython installation to use is done by the python27-sys crate's build.rs. Its search order is:

  1. PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE environment variable.
  2. python executable on PATH
  3. python2 executable on PATH
  4. python2.7 executable on PATH

Additional verification of the found Python will be performed by our build.rs to ensure it meets Mercurial's requirements.

Details about the build-time configured Python are built into the produced hg binary. This means that a built hg binary is only suitable for a specific, well-defined role. These roles are controlled by Cargo features (see above).

Running

The hgcli crate produces an hg binary. You can run this binary via cargo run:

$ cargo run --manifest-path hgcli/Cargo.toml

Or directly:

$ target/debug/hg
$ target/release/hg

You can also run the test harness with this binary:

$ ./run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg

Note

Integration with the test harness is still preliminary. Remember to cargo build after changes because the test harness doesn't yet automatically build Rust code.
