| = Inotify Extension = ''Author: Bryan O'Sullivan'' '''This extension has been included with Mercurial since version 1.0''' '''[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.mercurial.general/12475 It definitely has to be considered experimental]''' == Overview == This extension uses the Linux 2.6 inotify API to make status instantaneous for even very large repositories, by subscribing to the paths in the repository instead of having to check them all at every status command. == Installation and configuration == To enable it, edit your hgrc: {{{ [extensions] inotify = }}} You can either enable it for each individual repository you need it in, or globally. The extension contains both a server and a client component. By default, it will start automatically. To prevent this, edit either your global ~/.hgrc or .hg/hgrc in repositories where you don't want to use inotify: {{{ [inotify] autostart = False }}} == Obsolete installation instructions (Mercurial older than 1.0) == These instructions apply to older, out-of-tree versions of the inotify extension. === Installation === The inotify extension requires Bryan's [http://hg.kublai.com/python/inotify python bindings for inotify]. You can either install them the normal way (via {{{setup.py}}}) or do an in-place build {{{setup.py build_ext -i}}}, then create a symlink from the inotify directory into the inotify extension directory. For example: {{{ $ hg clone http://hg.kublai.com/python/inotify python-inotify $ cd python-inotify $ python setup.py build_ext -i $ cd .. $ hg clone http://hg.kublai.com/mercurial/extensions/inotify $ cd inotify $ ln -s ../python-inotify/inotify . }}} The extension should now be ready to use. === Configuration === Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines: {{{ [extensions] inotify=/path/to/inotify }}} You can either start up the inotify extension on a repository with {{{hg inserve}}} or have it autostart with the following .hgrc snippet (either global or in the repository {{{.hg/hgrc}}} in which you would like to use inotify: {{{ [inotify] autostart = true }}} ---- CategoryExtension |
