hgview #75296 remove mercurial as a setup.py-time dependency [validation pending]
I don't see any reason why a package build system should have mercurial installed just to package this package.
Mercurial is apparently only needed because setup.py uses hgviewlib/__pkginfo__.py and hgviewlib/__init__.py monkey patches Mercurial. It must be possible to do that elsewhere or differently. | |
