Description Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-12 17:35:14 UTC 
These changes allow to start the built-in via init script. 
Nice and useful, if you just want to serve some repos without installing a heavy http server, like apache.

Please don't CC maintainers/herds yourself. Leave that to the bug-wranglers.
Comment 6 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-17 18:07:57 UTC 
@djc: These changes should also work in mercurial-1.3.1-r1 ebuild.
Comment 7 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-17 18:52:16 UTC 
Hmm, I don't exactly feel this is the right direction. I guess my issue is that hg serve isn't really intended for long-running servers -- as the primary maintainer of hgwebdir, I really feel that mod_wsgi (or FCGI, I guess) is the best way to run those, so I don't particularly like this one...
Comment 8 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-18 07:58:25 UTC 
Good point, I could not experience any stability problems with hg serve so far.
I just found it by far more easy to set it up.

I am also using hg through apache with mod_python on an other gentoo box. However in the end there is not much difference.
Comment 9 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-18 12:12:33 UTC 
Closing, this is probably not a good idea.
Comment 10 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-18 12:13:04 UTC 
Ah, sorry, I should make it WONTFIX.
