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!

Can't help on Debian front, but you might ask marnanel about getting it into Ubuntu.

Well done! xxx

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?
