What do people think of switching from CVS to Mercurial[*] ?
I have no experience with it, but no objections either. The only question I have is the status of Mercurial support on common-lisp.net.
It's currently not installed. But I hope the cl.netters don't mind to install it. I did a local install there and also installed the cgi script (well, server-side include) under http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/hgweb.shtml. I think it doesn't need any other upgrades.
I think hg has some hooks to send emails after a commit, so we would send that to the slime-cvs mailing list. I haven't tried it, though. The script for the daily changelog summary would probably need some adjustments.
It would be nice to have a CVS mirror of the Mercurial repository (so that non-committers wouldn't notice the switch) but I couldn't find an simple solution to that.
Maybe there is something like http://github.com for Mercurial? There will no need to install hg on cl.net.
BTW I've imported slime to git and published it here: http://github.com/nablaone/slime/ Just for test.
