chgserver: remove Python 2 file descriptor logic Follows up 0bb28b7736bc "chgserver: remove Python 2 support code." On Python 2, we had to close newfp prior to restoring the original file description since "delete newfp" would otherwise close the file descriptor shared with the long-lived fp: in attachio(): newfp = os.fdopen(fp.fileno(), mode, bufsize) in _restoreio(): newfp.close() # temporarily close newfp.fileno() (= fp.fileno()) os.dup2(fd, fp.fileno()) # reopen fp.fileno() with original fd On the other hand, we shouldn't call newfp.close() on Python 3 since any function calls are proxied to the underlying file object by procutil.LineBufferedWrapper.

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.
