I want to have around 60 repositories of projects and I want to serve them from a dedicated remote server(ubuntu) with the help of mercurial-server so that all my developers will be able to update their changes. I have followed this article in order to do that but I am not clearly able to understand. I have some following questions:
How to install mercurial-server? Does all repo will be controlled by "hg user" (whose directory is at server/home/hg) and does the user will be automatically created during installation of mercurial server(like mysql) ?
Do I need to install mercurial client(i.e. apt-get install mercurial) on my remote server? I know the client side must install
mercurialto push/pull repo to/from remote mercurial server. What exactly the diffence betweenmercurialandmercurial-server?
Note: Please provide me a abstract (yet understandable) steps to setup mercurial server in order to serve some project from my dedicated ubuntu server if possible.
(i.e. prerequisites>install>setup>authentication for push/pull>web interface).
