I broke out the hgweb config into its own apache config file.

I wrote the following script to assist with deploying custom starter hgrc files to the hosted repositories on www:

#!/bin/bash
#
# mkhgrc
#
cd /var/repos/hg/user
for user in `/bin/ls -1A | grep -v '^wedge$'`; do
    echo -n "[${user}] "
    NAME=`finger $user | head -1 | grep -o 'Name:.*$' | cut -d':' -f2`
    cat ../hgrc.template | sed "s/USER/$user/g" | sed "s/NAME/$NAME/g" > ${user}/.hg/hgrc
    chown -R www-data:www-data ${user}/.hg/hgrc
    chmod 640 ${user}/.hg/hgrc
done
exit 0

This script will become less useful to use once we have a semester of student use. But I've incorporated the logic into my new user creation script, so there really won't be a problem.

I have gotten desired Mercurial functionality up and running for Lab46.

I had to make some changes to the apache config on www, and I did a little re-arranging with respect to existing subversion repos (they may be broken at the moment).

Just put some logic into my new user creation script to auto-create a personal mercurial repo.

Need to do more polishing all around, but pleased at the current status.

Minor annoyance- just as with subversion, there really does not seem to be any sort of straightforward command-line keyring tool. There may have been one, but it seems to currently be broken.

Hopefully I will be good and provide copious documentation (something I seem to have fallen out of the habit of doing).

Our immediate upstream provider had a problem with one of their switches, leaving the world unable to contact us, and us unable to contact the world. Outage lasted from ~3:15pm-~5:06pm.

It looks like we had an issue with one of our switches at the BDC. I restarted our access rules
on the switch and everything appears to be working now.

They have been up for well over a year now, it is probably time to give them a good reboot this
summer.

It has been a relatively quiet year. I am thankful for that.
