Support for Mercurial (version control tool)

[Viking]

Hi, is there Mercurial support in the meantime? The only article I fould for this topic is from 2010 (http://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php?topic=29252.0). Many thanks in advance, V.

You would still need an SCC interface.

Incidentally, SCC is a generic "Generic VCS interface" as requested by the last post in that thread. It's a common API that developers can write to wrap their VCS.

Many thanks. Do I undestand you correctly that there is no SSC-compliant Mercurial-library coming with EA? So I need to get it from somewhere? Are there any addresses in the internet? I can only find the library linked in the thread mentioned above. V.

EA doesn't include any SCC providers. I don't know anything about Mercurial other than these two threads, so I can't help you with SCC support for it.

Yes.

So I need to get it from somewhere?

Yes. Or roll your own.

Are there any addresses in the internet?

Many.

Could you tell me a good address resp. a reliable supplier, please? I found only hgscc.

Sorry, no. You're looking at a couple weeks work there at least. I could do it but I'd have to charge.

I'm not even sure it's possible. There's a reason Mercurial dropped it in the first place.

I am sorry. I do not understand. I asked if there are "suppliers for SSC for Mercurial" and you answered "many". Then I asked if you could tell me a reliable supplier and you answer that there would be a lot of work to do. I am just looking for a SSC interface which can be used for Mercurial.

No, you asked if there are any addresses in the Internet. There are many. In fact, some four billion in the IPv4 address space alone.

Evaluating suppliers is a lot of work.

As I said, I'm not sure if it's possible to do since Mercurial had SCC support once, and dropped it. Either way, it's nothing to do with EA. You'll likely get better answers from the Mercurial people.
