contrib/Makefile.python: build local Python from source This provides an easy way to install new or old Python versions on Unixish systems. It is mainly intended for testing Mercurial with different Python versions. Example: $ cd build $ make -f ../contrib/Makefile.python python PYTHONVER=2.4 PREFIX=/tmp/p24 $ /tmp/p24/bin/python -V Python 2.4 Tested on Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu with Python versions from 2.4 to 2.7.6. Most Python versions need some workarounds to compile on Debian-ish systems. The workarounds do not do any significant harm on Fedora.

tests: use small conditional section for tic requirement in test-status-color.t Better test coverage when curses not is available.

import-checker: show stdlib and relative imports separately Make the output more useful for debugging problems.

tests: improved test coverage for HTTP authentication and 401 responses Dump the access log to verify that the client gets the 401s it deserves and handles them correctly. This establishes a baseline for Basic authentication protocol.

tests: ignore http tests that are known wontfix failures on python 2.4 As mentioned on http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2739#c17 , b3083042bdda left test-http.t failing on Python < 2.4.3. That has not been noticed because most 2.4 testing has been done with a patched 2.4.2. This makes sure that the tests only are run for Python >= 2.4.3. That makes it possible to verify that everything else works with Python 2.4.

import-checker: fix names of dynamically loaded modules The import checker found standard library modules such as lib-dynload/zlibmodule.so but saw that as a 'zlibmodule' module, not as the 'zlib' module. Debian ships Python with most modules built-in and this incorrect handling of dynamic modules did thus not cause problems on that platform. Fedora ships Python with as many modules as possible loaded dynamically. That made the import checker tests fail with incorrect classification of the following modules: array fcntl grp itertools time zlib. This change makes test-module-imports.t pass on Fedora.

tests: for consistent output flush between writing sterr and stdout Because stdout and stderr are buffered, the order of the output is other way around on some systems.

discovery: cleanup of variable names and comments

localrepo: give a sigh of relief when getting lock after waiting for it A message like this was sometimes shown when pushing: remote: waiting for lock on repository foo held by 'mercurial:20858' That could scare users, making them wonder whether the push actually succeeded. To mitigate that fear, issue an additional "warning" such as: got lock after 2 seconds The return value from lock.lock.lock() was unused - instead we return the delay. This also adds the first test coverage for waiting for locks.

convert: add tagmap option Tests have been updated.
