packaging: add dependencies to the PyOxidizer build on macOS Otherwise, we get a bunch of test failures for missing things like pygments, or tests skipped entirely. The input file is a copy/paste from the equivalent Windows file, but with dulwich, pygit2, and pytest-vcr commented out because the build process errors out with them, flagging them as incompatible with loading from memory. I have no idea if that's actually true or not, because I've noticed that if I don't `make clean` after every build, the next build flags the watchman stuff as incompatible with loading from memory. The remaining failures are: Failed test-alias.t: output changed Failed test-basic.t: output changed Failed test-check-help.t: output changed Failed test-commit-interactive.t: output changed Failed test-extension.t: output changed Failed test-help.t: output changed Failed test-i18n.t: output changed Failed test-log.t: output changed Failed test-qrecord.t: output changed Failed test-share-safe.t: output changed Most of the issues seem related to loading help for disabled extensions from `hgext.__index__`, namely the full extension help being unavailable, not being able to resolve what commands are provided by what extension, and not having the command level help available. test-log.t, test-commit-interactive.t, and test-i18n.t look like i18n (or lack thereof) issues. test-basic.t is just odd: @@ -55,7 +55,7 @@ On Python 3, stdio may be None: $ hg debuguiprompt --config ui.interactive=true 0<&- - abort: Bad file descriptor (no-rhg !) + abort: response expected abort: response expected (rhg !)

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
