[gentoo-user] Any experience with RhodeCode?

I'm looking for a nice, lightweight way to implement a Mercurial server.
Somehow, installing a heavyweight webserver just for Mercurial seems so...
wasteful.

I happened upon "RhodeCode", and honestly, it looks promising.

Anyone has any experience deploying and using RhodeCode?

Rgds,

If it's not for public use, you can clone/pull/whatever over SSH.

That's news to me... so I don't have to install a Mercurial server at all?

That said, having seen the demo version of RhodeCode, I kind of like it's
web-based interface. And the Active Directory integration also seems nice
(my company's dev team is predominantly Windows).

Nope.

  $ hg help urls
  URL Paths

    Valid URLs are of the form:

      local/filesystem/path[#revision]
      file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
      http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
      https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
      ssh://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
  ...


There's a section in there about SSH URLs you'll probably want to read.
You need Mercurial installed on the server machine, and its path
handling is a little weird if you're used to another SCM.

Works fine without a web server, though.
