This makes the changes in 68b7b759ebff and 71a3703364df available on Windows.
I'm not setup to make the installer, so someone with experience in this area
should probably give it a look. In looking around to try to figure out how to
build the installer, it looks like the Makefile may need an update to $DOCFILES.
This makes the root install folder (on Windows) nice and tidy. The
only files left in the root folder are:
hg.exe
python27.dll
COPYING.rtf
ReadMe.html
the last of which was probably out-of-date 7 years ago
It should not be included in the Windows installers because it prevents
loading CA certificates from the system store on Python 2.7.9, implemented
by b572b9736ab0. The msi packages bundles Python 2.7.9, so cacert.pem is no
longer necessary.
Backed out changeset 7c9264a028c0
The pywin32 package is no longer needed.
ctypes is now required for running Mercurial on Windows.
ctypes is included in Python since version 2.5. For Python 2.4, ctypes is
available as an extra installer package for Windows.
Moved spawndetached() from windows.py to win32.py and fixed it, using
ctypes as well. spawndetached was defunct with Python 2.6.6 because Python
removed their undocumented subprocess.CreateProcess. This fixes
'hg serve -d' on Windows.
--bundle 3 leaves all of the compiled C extensions and other DLLs outside of
the library.zip, so we no longer add the installer folder to the system PATH.
Instead, we now ship a small bin/hg.cmd and it is placed in the PATH.
Switching to py2exe --bundle 3 is necessary because the higher bundle options
are not supported on x64.
