Mirrors migrated out of bitbucket
As you are probably aware, bitbucket is dead. At least the original bitbucket as we knew it, the leader in mercurial hosting. They no longer host mercurial repositories, so I had to move my kernel and Django mirrors. They are now hosted on my own heptapod instance, at the following URL: https://www.freehackers.org/mirrors I did the […]

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.7 Branch
Today the Django project released the first alpha for Django 1.7. As such, the branch for 1.7 has been created in the git repository, and we can start mirroring it. Of course, this is still an alpha and the clone shouldn’t be used yet for prodution. The purpose is to test 1.7 early and to […]

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.6 branch
Django has another branch, and we have another mirror. Today Django 1.6 beta 1 was released, and that seemed a good day to start the 1.6 mirror. So here it is, next to the other mirrors on my bitbucket account: https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.6-production/

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.5 branch
Django has just released the first alpha for the next big release, 1.5. As such they created the 1.5.x branch that will lead to the 1.5.0 release and then will become the stable branch. I do not intend to use the 1.5 branch before the final release, but I’ve already setup the mirror nonetheless. The mirror […]

Unofficial mercurial mirror for Django that works
The documentation for Django mentions an “official” mirror for mercurial. Django got us used to a very high standard when it comes to quality. Unfortunately, this is exactly the contrary for this mirror. It’s quite often broken, or not updated, or both. The last itch is that nobody has taken care of it since the […]

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.4 branch
Another Django release, another branch, another mercurial mirror… Cloning this one will costs you ~35Mb on your hard disk, compared to 167Mb for the official django mirror. This is updated once a day from the official svn, and it’s gonna stay for a long time : https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.4-production/ For some reason, the 1.4 branch was not […]

New lightweight admin-oriented linux kernel mercurial mirror
On most servers I’m responsible for, I use to compile my own kernels. Instead of downloading/applying patches, which is cumbersome, I was using the (now broken) mercurial mirror http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6 It was great as i just had to do something like “hg pull -u; hg up -r v2.6.xx” to update my tree. Though, this has several […]

Mercurial mirror for Django stable branch 1.3
Django recently released the 1.3 version, and as such a new ‘stable’ branch was created in subversion. As I did for the 1.2 branch, there’s now a mercurial mirror, following the 1.3 branch. It is updated every (european) night. The 1.2 mirror is not removed, it is still running and maintained. The url for this […]

New mercurial mirror for Django stable branch 1.2
I have tried for the last few years to use one of the mercurial mirrors on bitbucket.org to follow Django. Since far before Django 1.0 was released, I was following trunk, but I have switched to the stable branch around Django 1.1. I’ve always had problems with the mirrors on bitbucket, they seem mostly unmaintained. […]
