Mercurial (hg) SCM on ReadyNAS?
Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed Mercurial on their ReadyNAS. I'm struggling because I can't seem to get a complete Python install. I downloaded and installed Python ...
Migrated to a new nas (pro4) and the install was a bit different this time around.
Notes to future people looking to do this:
apt-get install make <and gcc and stuff>
download python 2.7.x source packs, and latest mercurial.
build python, run the tests... then install it.
build mercurial, run the tests... then install it.
I satisfied some libraries that python warned me it might be a good idea to have.
once that's all set up you can pretty much follow the instructions for hgweb i linked above... one note, to pw protect the dir on the pro you need this apache conf:
ScriptAlias /hg /c/mercurial/hgweb.cgi
<Location /hg>
Include /etc/frontview/apache/Auth.conf
AuthName "Mercurial Repositories"
require user ddumont
</Location>
I put my mercurial stuff in a share (to make backing up easier). The include lets frontview do your user auth.
This conf file should be a link in or placed in /etc/frontview/apache/addons
storage:/c/mercurial# ls -la /etc/frontview/apache/addons/
