How to control hg mercurial notifications

[jarekczek]

I try to setup hg notifications, preferrably to have them forwarded to the mailing list. It's in the beta type project, zbarw.

I don't see any option in project administration page. Am I to craft the hgrc file? If so, please give an example of a file, that works under sourceforge hosting.

Greetings,

I haven't gotten a chance to specifically test out setting up notifications myself yet, but you have direct access to your mercurial repo via the Shell service. It will be mounted at /home/hg/zbarw/code/

So you can use that to configure any hooks, etc. Give that a shot and let me know how it goes.

If you need step-by-step directions, please note that I'm not really a mercurial expert, so it may take me some time to get that done.

Chris, thanks for your support. But I had found the info about shell service and hg directory, because there were already several tickets about that. So several people tried to achieve the same, but each was acting alone. And they were doing it with legacy projects I guess, so I don't know if it may be applied to a beta project too.

A sample hgrc script somewhere in wiki would be really handy, because I don't feel like becoming hg expert. And to test it I must commit and commit and commit. Then wait for emails. Discouraging. I chose hg because I had to be compatible with original project.

As a comparison, I was configuring svn in legacy project to forward commits to a mailing list. It was like a walk in a park. Looking forward for a guidance from you.
