Using the convert extension or using hgsvn? I already have public mirrors using hgsvn (synced every 10 minutes): http://hg.pitrou.net/public/py3k/py3k/ http://hg.pitrou.net/public/cpython/trunk/

Personally, I use convert, because it's more robust on WIndows (there were a few commits with case clashes which hgsvn can't get past on a Windows box).

For a central repo, I don't care - but I'd prefer it if all the options were hosted on code.python.org, just so that no one option feels more "official" than any other. If I do the work, I'd use convert, simply because I'm more familiar with it, but that's all. OTOH, if the process is just copying a local mirror up to the server, copying your repo might be better (my PC is not always on, and I don't have frequent syncs set up at the moment).

Paul.
