Getting started with Sync

Prerequisites

Configure Mercurial

Put the following in your ~/.hgrc:

 [ui]
 username = Your Name <you@mozilla.com>
 
 [extensions]
 hgext.mq = 

 [diff]
 git = 1
 unified = 8

 [defaults]
 diff = -pU8
 qdiff = -pU8
 qnew = -U
 qseries = -sv

You can also add the following to ~/.hg/hgrc:

 [paths]
 default = http://hg.mozilla.org/services/
 default-push = ssh://hg.mozilla.org/services/

Check out the Mercurial repos you'll need

 mkdir -p ~/moz/hg/services
 cd ~/moz/hg/services
 for x in \
 admin-scripts fx-home fx-sync-tools loadtest reg-server server-core \
 server-key-exchange server-storage dashboard fx-sync internal_dash \
 minimal-server reg-server-secure server-full server-reg sync-server
 do
 hg clone ssh://hg.mozilla.org/services/$x
 done

Check out Mozilla Central, too.

 cd ~/moz/hg
 hg clone ssh://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
