config: add a function to insert non-file based, but overridable settings This will be used in the next patch. Until relatively recently (473510bf0575), there was no official way for extensions to inject per-repo config data, so it probably makes sense that `ui.setconfig()` items are sticky, and not affected by loading more config files. But that makes it cumbersome if the extension wants to allow the data it might add to be overridden by any data in the local hgrc file. The only thing I could get to work was to load the local hgrc first, and then check if the source for the config item that should be overridden was *not* the local hgrc file name. But that's brittle because in addition to the file name, the source contains the line number, there are the usual '\' vs '/' platform differences, etc. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7933

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.
