ITP: mercurial-server -- provide and manage a shared Mercurial repository

[ciphergoth]

I just released version 0.8 of a small bit of software I wrote for work, mercurial-server.

mercurial-server gives your developers remote read/write access to centralized Mercurial repositories using SSH public key authentication; it provides convenient and fine-grained key management and access control.

Now I'm looking for the help of a Debian developer to get the software into Debian, and later into Ubuntu. Any of the Debian developers reading this fancy giving me any advice or getting involved?

• mercurial-server home page
• Blog post about release 0.8
• Intent to Package
• mercurial-server on mentors.debian.net
• Request for Sponsor

Thanks!

Is this analagous to other tools?

Is this analogous to using gitorious with git, or the command="svnserve -t --tunnel-user alice" hack in .ssh/authorized_keys with subversion?

I'm told that mercurial-server is very similar to a tool called "gitosis", but I don't really know anything about it or either of the tools you mention.
