Inotify Extension
This extension is distributed with recent builds of Mercurial, but not in a formal release.
Author: Bryan O'Sullivan
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
The inotify extension is now distributed with the Mercurial source, though it is not yet present in a formal release.
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, you have to start the server by hand, using the hg inserve command. To make it start automatically, edit your hgrc:
[inotify] autostart = True
Obsolete installation instructions
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
