Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Adblock Plus goes Mercurial · 2008-10-23 14:58 by Wladimir Palant
After all the bigger projects already announced their move from CVS to Mercurial, it is now my turn. A Mercurial code repository for Adblock Plus was created at MozDev yesterday (thanks to Doug for the fast response), and now I am done updating the scripts and instructions on the web. So the old CVS repository is now only there to maintain a redirect from adblockplus.mozdev.org to adblockplus.org and to host the downloads available via http://downloads.mozdev.org/adblockplus/ that will no longer be updated. Did anybody actually know that all Adblock Plus releases are still being pushed to MozDev? I doubt that…
In future there should be no more huge and undifferentiated checkins from me caused by several days of developing without Internet access. A modern revision control system certainly has some advantages.
And while I was already at it I extended the Adblock Plus source code page with instructions on what you can do with that source code, like creating development builds or running the new unit tests. I hope this helps somebody. Next step will be having source code documentation generated automatically.

On the source page, the link for the GUI Clients should be updated to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/OtherTools .
BTW: Subscriptions page cough ;-)

I must say I didn’t even check the links – just copied them over from MozDev. Thanks, will file a MozDev bug as well :)
