Chris@486: EasyMercurial
Chris@486: =============
Chris@486: 
Chris@486: EasyMercurial is a user interface for the Mercurial distributed
Chris@486: version control system.
Chris@486: 
Chris@486: EasyMercurial is intended to be:
Chris@486: 
Chris@486:  * simple to teach and to learn
Chris@486:  * indicative of repository state using a history graph representation
Chris@486:  * recognisably close to normal command-line workflow for Mercurial
Chris@486:  * consistent across platforms
Chris@486: 
Chris@486: We are not trying to produce "the best" Mercurial client for any one
Chris@486: purpose. We actively encourage users to move on to other clients as
Chris@486: their needs evolve. The aim is simply to provide something accessible
Chris@486: for beginners in small project groups working with a shared remote
Chris@486: repository.
Chris@486: 
Chris@486: The application is developed by Chris Cannam for SoundSoftware.ac.uk,
Chris@486: based on the HgExplorer application by Jari Korhonen, and is published
Chris@486: under the GPL.  See the file COPYING for license details.

Chris@486: Building EasyMercurial
Chris@486: ======================
Chris@486: 
Chris@695: EasyMercurial is written in C++ using the Qt5 toolkit.  On most
Chris@695: platforms, you can build it by running "qmake" followed by "make".

Chris@486: To run EasyMercurial
Chris@486: ====================
Chris@486: 
Chris@486: Just run the EasyMercurial application that is produced by the build.
Chris@695: You will also need to have Mercurial installed (version 1.7 or newer).
Chris@695: If you want to use the EasyHg authentication extension, you will also
Chris@695: need PyQt5 (the Python bindings for Qt5); you may also wish to install
Chris@695: the python-crypto library for the password store.  Finally, an
Chris@695: external diff/merge utility is required, typically kdiff3.
