Created attachment 497822 [details] chg-4.3.3.ebuild chg is a client to the Mercurial command server. It significantly reduces the startup time of Mercurial and is distributed alongside Mercurial. A working, repoman checked ebuild is attached and a metadata file will be.
Created attachment 497824 [details] metadata.xml A sample metadata file assuming that I’d be the maintainer. There are no use-flags. This is just an offer. The chg version needs to be kept in sync with Mercurial, so it might be worthwhile to turn chg into a use-flag for Mercurial instead of making it its own package, but I wasn’t sure how to do that.
Adding the maintainer of Mercurial to CC (Lars Wendler).
Thank you for the files. Could you add the longdescription to the metadata, please? Is it correct, that you want to be the proxied maintainer and take care for bugreports?

(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #3) > Is it correct, that you want to be the proxied maintainer and take care for > bugreports? That’s correct, yes. CHg in itself is sufficiently stable that I think I can do that. And it is very useful for scripting (in my experiments lightweight commands are factor 2 to 3 faster with chg than with hg).
dev-vcs/mercurial has a chg flag which install this command.
