Installing an avr cross compiler in gentoo
One could think that this is as easy as crossdev avr but it is not, so i write here how I did it for future reference, and hopefully this will also be useful to other people. The first problem is that it does not check compatibility between toolchain members (binutils, gcc, …). Understandably, this is […]

tags displayed in hg activity extension
Today i have added a feature to my hg activity extension. I have wanted to have this for long : the tags are now displayed on the graph. Here are two examples, one of the project itself, and another one on the mercurial repository, but only for the last months. The first one was generated […]

feedback about converting eigen2 to mercurial
This week-end we did the final conversion of the eigen2 source code repository. I shall describe here the few problems we had, as a feedback to the community. Eigen original purpose was to help provide linear algebra for several KDE parts. As such, it was until now developed inside the KDE repository, which (still) uses […]

mercurial and ipv6
Today I needed to use mercurial over IPv6 in order to share a repository which is on a computer behind an (ipv4) firewall, but that can be reached over ipv6. The naive hg clone ssh://orzel@ipv6computername/hg/dir hg clone ssh://orzel@[ipv6::address]/hg/dir miserably failed. But i was hinted on IRC (thanks ‘Ry4an’ !) on how to do this, and […]

Quest for gdc in gentoo
It took me quite some time (and some grep) to find out how to install gdc on gentoo, so here is the answer for those facing the same problem. gdc is a gcc font-end for the D language, which has some advantages over other ones like dmd, but don’t ask which. (something like ‘support for […]

Mercurial bulk update
I don’t know about you, but I have on a lot of different places a directory called ‘hg’ with lot of different mercurial clones inside. Whether on the home of my several computers for my own projects, or inside other directories for external projects, and so on. Now, remember one important aspect of distributed source […]

Yet another activity graph : how often do you emerge ?
Really, I seem to be fond of activity graphs those days. I have reused part of this previous code, but this time I parse the emerge log file to display the activity of your successful emerges. Think of it as a graphical view of ‘genlop -l’. Those examples are the emerge activity of my two […]

Activities gallery
While developing my recently released activity mercurial extension (and here too), I did a lot of tests on some quite famous/big projects. I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others? warning : this […]

Splitted activity for mercurial
Today I have added new options to the mercurial activity extension and most importantly, it is now possible to have a different curve for each author. It looks like this :

Activity extension for mercurial
This is something i’ve really been missing for long in mercurial : a way to display the activity of a repository. No, ‘hg churn’ is not the right answer, I want an idea of when the peaks of development happened. So I have written this small extension. It is based on matplotlib, so you’ll need […]
