[oi-dev] Git or Mercurial?

[Jim Klimov]

Hello all,

   Many instructions on both the illumos and OI wikis (including some
pages compiled by myself a couple of years ago) describe Mercurial
(hg) as the way to fetch the illumos-gate sources. How up-to-date is
this information? I believe the active development repository for both
projects has gone over to GitHub, with its simplicity of forks etc.,
and the hg.illumos.org replicates (checks out/updates) from the Git
master version. Is this understanding correct?

   In consequence, should the Wiki instructions be updated to promote
the GitHub (original gate or private forks) as the suggested way to
go (in particular, to easily publish and share fixes and developments
made by this developer), with HG being a legacy option?

Thanks,
