packaging: replace dockerlib.sh with a Python script I want to do some more advanced things with Docker in upcoming commits. Trying to do that with shell scripts will be a bit too painful for my liking. Implementing things in Python will be vastly simpler in the long run. This commit essentially ports dockerlib.sh to a Python script. dockerdeb and dockerrpm have been ported to use the new hg-docker script. hg-docker requires Python 3. I've only tested on Python 3.5. Unlike the local packaging scripts which may need to run on old distros, the Docker packaging scripts don't have these constraints. So I think it is acceptable to require Python 3.5. As part of the transition, the Docker image tags changed slightly. I don't think that's a big deal: the Docker image names are effectively arbitrary and are a means to an end to achieve running commands in Docker containers. The code for resolving the Dockerfile content allows substituting values passed as arguments. This will be used in a subsequent commit. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3759

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.
