Sourceforge Setup

The mercurial repository is hosed on sourceforge. Once you've been added as a developer to the WNMap project, follow these steps so you'll be able to push changes.

These directions are an abbreviated version of http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MercurialOnSourceforge

You'll probably want to set up public key-based authentication so you aren't typing passwords all the time (there are lots of resources about this on the internet).

All of this should be done from the sourceforge shell:

  1. ln -s /home/groups/w/wn/wnmap ~/wnmap
  2. mkdir ~/bin
  3. ln -s /home/groups/w/wn/wnmap/lib/hg-0.9.4/hg ~/bin/hg
  4. Add this to the bottom of ~/.bashrc (or appropriate file if you're using a different shell): export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
  5. Add to ~/.hgrc on your sourceforge shell 
    [trusted]
groups = wnmap

Now back at your computer, test that it worked: 

$ ssh shell.sf.net hg version

Now you can push changes: 

$ hg push ssh://shell.sf.net/wnmap/hg/wnmap

Or create new repositories: 

$ hg clone . ssh://shell.sf.net/wnmap/hg/wnmap--newbranch
