Oxidized Mercurial

This project provides a Rust implementation of the Mercurial (hg)
version control tool.

Under the hood, the project uses
PyOxidizer to embed a Python
interpreter in a binary built with Rust. At run-time, the Rust fn main()
is called and Rust code handles initial process startup. An in-process
Python interpreter is started (if needed) to provide additional
functionality.

Building

First, acquire and build a copy of PyOxidizer; you probably want to do this in
some directory outside of your clone of Mercurial:

$ git clone https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer.git
$ cd PyOxidizer
$ cargo build --release

Then build this Rust project using the built pyoxidizer executable:

$ /path/to/pyoxidizer/target/release/pyoxidizer build --release

If all goes according to plan, there should be an assembled application
under build/<arch>/release/app/ with an hg executable:

$ build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/app/hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 5.3.1+433-f99cd77d53dc+20200331)
(see https://mercurial-scm.org for more information)

Running Tests

To run tests with a built hg executable, you can use the --with-hg
argument to run-tests.py. But there's a wrinkle: many tests run custom
Python scripts that need to import modules provided by Mercurial. Since
these modules are embedded in the produced hg executable, a regular
Python interpreter can't access them! To work around this, set PYTHONPATH
to the Mercurial source directory. e.g.:

$ cd /path/to/hg/src/tests
$ PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/.. python3.9 run-tests.py \
    --with-hg `pwd`/../rust/hgcli/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release/app/hg
