And I’m still using 1.1.2 out of the Ubuntu repository.

Eagerly I updated from the release PPA, but what did I know back than. First thing I noticed was the half done translation. German technical terms just suck.

More importantly they broke the zeroconf module. As most of my hg pulls are within my network, this is pretty serious for me. A fix is already committed, but not yet released. So back to 1.1.2 for me, as I like my VCS stable.

Unfortunately it’s only for Mac. As Gnome has password management of it’s own, I looked there is someway to access it via Python. And there is!

So I wrote a quick extension myself: hggnome-keyring

It uses the usual yadda yadda for installing (see mercurial docs). Only drawback: Access to the keyring is determined by executable name, so any python programm is allowed to access those keys :-(

There are two first in this post:

  1. I used bitbucket.org to host the repo. It’s quite nice and very free.
  2. This post is relayed to my twitter account.
