packaging: modernize (compat PEP 517) with less distutils and setup.py calls - setup.py: less distutils imports and setuptools required distutils is deprecated and one should import commands from setuptools to support modern workflows depending on PEP 517 and 518. Moreover, for Python >=3.12, distutils comes from setuptools. It corresponds to old and unmaintain code that do not support PEP 517. The PEP 517 frontends (pip, build, pipx, PDM, UV, etc.) are responsible for creating a venv just for the build. The build dependencies (currently only setuptools) are specified in the pyproject.toml file. Therefore, there is no reason to support building without setuptools. Calling directly setup.py is deprecated and we have to use a PEP 517 frontend. For this commit we use pip with venv. - run-tests.py: install with pip instead of direct call of setup.py Mercurial is then built in an isolated environment. - Makefile: use venv+pip instead of setup.py

Requirements

Building the Inno installer requires a Windows machine.

The following system dependencies must be installed:

  • Inno Setup (http://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php) version 5.4 or newer. Be sure to install the optional Inno Setup Preprocessor feature, which is required.
  • Python 3.8+ (to run the packaging.py script)

Building

The packaging.py script automates the process of producing an Inno installer. It manages fetching and configuring non-system dependencies (such as gettext, and various Python packages). It can be run from a basic cmd.exe Window (i.e. activating the MSBuildTools environment is not required).

From the prompt, change to the Mercurial source directory. e.g. cd c:\src\hg.

Next, invoke packaging.py to produce an Inno installer.:

$ py -3 contrib\packaging\packaging.py \
    inno --pyoxidizer-target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

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.
