[myhdl-list] mercurial on SourceForge

[Jan D. <ja...@ja...>]

Sourceforge has made some major changes lately.

In addition to a new interface, they offer a lot of new
services. In particular, there is now support for mercurial
hosting.

I'm not changing anything in our current setup, but I have
enabled mercurial for MyHDL at SourceForge, and I will keep
the repository there up to date also. This can be useful
for people coming to MyHDL through SourceForge. It is
also an additional back-up.

That is pretty interesting, it shows some of the flexibility and features of
a distributed version control system like mercurial.  Easily keep different
repositories in sync.

Indeed, with distributed version control all kinds of useful work
flows become easy and natural. It is easy to forget how complicated
things were with centralized systems. I don't want to go back.

I'm also happy with the particular choice of mercurial. It
fits my brain. Moreover, it seems more and more projects are
switching to it (or supporting it, like SourceForge). Python
itself, for example. Mercurial clearly is a winner.
