utils: move the `dirs` definition in pathutil (API) Before this change, the `dirs` class was accessible through the `mercurial.util` module. That module is expected to stay free of scm specific content. The `pathutil` destination has been selection by Martin von Zweigbergk. This work is part of a refactoring to unify the revlog index and the nodemap. This unification prepare the use of a persistent nodemap. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7311

packaging: stop installing i18n files The WiX installer has been shipping the content of the i18n/ directory since it was introduced in 2010 in 1e022c88a0a5. And the installer was subsequently refactored to only ship the .po files and hggettext. The .po files and the hggettext script are only used at build time to produce .mo files, which Mercurial does use at run-time. It doesn't make sense to install these files on Windows. So this commit stops doing that. This change further converges the file layout of the Inno and WiX installers. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7165

packaging: install hgk as hgk.tcl Giving it a file extension will give Windows a better chance at being able to execute it via standard means. This also makes WiX consistent with the Inno installer. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7164

packaging: add logo-droplets.svg The WiX installer adds this file. Let's add it to the Inno installer for consistency. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7163

packaging: install documentation to doc/ directory The source directory is "doc" and "doc" is used by the WiX installer. I think it makes sense to converge on the canonical path name. While we're here, we also lower the case because we can. (I think lower case names make more sense plus it is more consistent.) This only affects the Inno installer at the moment because it is the only installer using the staging code. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7162

packaging: always pass VERSION into Inno invocation The code in the Inno file was a holdover from before we had Python driving execution. With Python in the driver's seat, we can now have it resolve the version string and pass it into Inno, making the code easier to understand for people who aren't packaging gurus.

packaging: remove hg.exe.local file <exe>.local files are used by Windows to set up DLL redirection. But these files are ignored if you embed an application manifest in your binary, which we do. So the existence of this file serves no purpose. So we remove it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7160

packaging: stage installed files for Inno Previously, the Inno installer maintained its own mapping of source files to install location. (We have to maintain a similar mapping in the WiX installer.) Managing the explicit file layout for Windows packages is cumbersome and redundant. Every time you want to change the layout you need to change N locations. We frequently forget to do this and we only find out when people install Mercurial from our packages at release time. This commit starts the process of consolidating and simplifying the logic for managing the install layout on Windows. We introduce a list of install layout rules. These are simply source filenames (which can contain wildcards) and destination paths. The Inno packaging code has been updated to assemble all files into a staging directory that mirrors the final install layout. The list of files to add to the installer is derived by walking this staging directory and dynamically emitting the proper entries for the Inno Setup script. I diffed the file layout before and after this commit and there is no difference. Another benefit of this change is that it facilitates easier testing of the Windows install layout. Before, in order to test the final install layout, you needed to build an installer and run it. Now, you can stage files into the final layout and test from there, without running the installer. This should cut down on overhead when changing Windows code. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7159

packaging: process Inno Setup files with Jinja2 I want to make the Inno Setup files dynamically generated. This will enable us to do things like automatically derive the set of files to be packaged instead of having to manually keep lists of files in sync across installers. As the first step towards this, we process the Inno Setup files with Jinja2. As part of this conversion, we had to escape syntax in mercurial.iss that conflicts with Jinja2. I also took the opportunity to include modpath.iss via Jinja2 instead of using Inno's preprocessor. This keeps the Python code a bit simpler.

packaging: install and run Inno files in a build directory Upcoming commits will refactor the Windows installers so their content is dynamically derived. In preparation for this, we copy the Inno files into a new build directory and run them from there. This required changing some relative paths to work from a new directory level but is otherwise a pretty straightforward change. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7157
