phabricator: ensure that `phabsend` is given a contiguous, linear commit range Supplying a non-linear range was another orphan factory. While in theory there could be a use case for skipping over garbage commits (like adding debugging) and getting the valuable commits extracted out at the same time as posting a review, it seems far more likely that specifying a non-linear range is a user error. This is another case of issue6045, but predates both 0680b8a1992a and 601ce5392cb0. Neither the `--no-amend` case nor resubmitting a previously submitted commit would cause orphans. But for the sake of simplicity and to keep the parents tracked on Phabricator in the proper state, ban missing commits unconditionally. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8454

automation: support building Python 3 MSI installers This is very similar to what we just did for Inno. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8484

automation: support building Python 3 Inno installers The core packaging code now supports building Python 3 installers using PyOxidizer. Let's teach the automation code to invoke it so that we produce both Python 2 and Python 3 based exe installers. When publishing the artifacts, the Python 3 versions are preferred over the Python 2 versions given their higher weight (10 versus 9). This may be a controversial change. But I think making Python 3 the default is warranted, as it is the future. The Python 2 installers are still fully supported and can be installed should issues with Python 3 arise.

automation: add extra arguments when building Inno These were being fed into the template expansion but not being used. This meant --version was not getting set when it should have been. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8482

packaging: add -python2 to Windows installer filenames We just taught the Windows installers to produce Python 3 variants built with PyOxidizer. Our plan is to publish both Python 2 and Python 3 versions of the installers for Mercurial 5.4. This commit teaches the Inno and WiX installers to add an optional string suffix to the installer name. On Python 2, that suffix is "-python2." We reserve the existing name for the Python 3 installers, which we want to make the default. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8479

automation: support building Windows wheels for Python 3.7 and 3.8 The time has come to support Python 3 on Windows. Let's teach our automation code to produce Windows wheels for Python 3.7 and 3.8. We could theoretically support 3.5 and 3.6. But I don't think it is worth it. People on Windows generally use the Mercurial installers, not wheels. And I'd prefer we limit variability and not have to worry about supporting earlier Python versions if it can be helped. As part of this, we change the invocation of pip to `python.exe -m pip`, as this is what is being recommended in Python docs these days. And it seemed to be required to avoid a weird build error. Why, I'm not sure. But it looks like pip was having trouble finding a Visual Studio files when invoked as `pip.exe` but not when using `python.exe -m pip`. Who knows.

packaging: support building WiX installers with PyOxidizer We initially implemented PyOxidizer support for Inno installers. That did most of the heavy work of integrating PyOxidizer into the packaging system. Implementing WiX installer support was pretty straightforward. Aspects of this patch look very similar to Inno's. The main difference is the handling of the Visual C++ Redistributable Runtime files. The WiX installer was formerly using merge modules to install the VC++ 9.0 runtime because this feature is supported by the WiX installer (it isn't easily available to Inno installers). Our strategy for the runtime files is to install the vcruntime140.dll file next to hg.exe just like any other file. While we could leverage WiX's functionality for invoking a VCRedist installer, I don't want to deal with the complexity at this juncture. So, we let run_pyoxidizer() copy vcruntime140.dll into the staging directory (like it does for Inno) and our dynamic WiX XML generator picks it up as a regular file and installs it. We did, however, have to teach mercurial.wxs how to conditionally use the merge modules. But this was rather straightforward. Comparing the file layout of the WiX installers before and after: * Various lib/*.{pyd, dll} files no longer exist * python27.dll was replaced by python37.dll * vcruntime140.dll was added All these changes are expected due to the transition to Python 3 and to PyOxidizer, which embeded the .pyd and .dll files in hg.exe.

packaging: move version derivation to run_wix_packaging() With the previous commit moving signing inline, we no longer need to compute the version string in build_installer() and can instead move this logic to run_wix_packaging(). This makes the logic in build_installer() simpler, which makes it easier to implement alternate building mechanisms. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8476
