[Python-Dev] Mercurial? (original) (raw)

Ok, that's a problem. We currently run 0.7.5 on the master, and have made custom changes that need to be forward-ported. IIUC, this will also mean that the waterfall default page is gone, which might surprise people.

I suppose all slaves also need to upgrade. Why is the waterfall default page gone? I had that in my 0.7.9 setup, at least. Provided the 0.7.5 slaves work with 0.7.10, then no, it's not necessary to upgrade the slaves. The problem in buildbot was strictly with the change detection in hg repos (combined with the Mercurial API, which hasn't entirely become stable -- so it changed a bit in 1.1).

My understanding is that with 0.7.6 and later, the default page won't be the waterfall anymore. In the 0.7.6 release notes, it says

The initial page (when you hit the root of the web site) is served

from index.html, and provides links to the Waterfall as well as the

other pages.

In the 0.7.9 release notes, it says

The html.Waterfall status target was replaced by html.WebStatus in

0.7.6, and will be removed by 0.8.0.

But then, I have not tried installing it, so I don't know what it actually looks like.

Regards, Martin
