Bitbucket set to remove Mercurial support

[names_are_hard]

Deadline got extended:

Due to the impact of COVID-19, we are extending the deprecation date by 30 days to give you more time to transition. Mercurial features and repositories will be officially removed from Bitbucket and its API on July 1, 2020.

Two months left.

[heder]

And now the end is near and so i face the final curtain ..

Remember to download all the bits before the Atlassian shredder tear down our world

I imported all branches and history into Github a while back:
https://github.com/reticulatedpines/magiclantern

Didn't copy all the issues across, I should try and find time for that.

I imported all branches and history into Github a while back:
https://github.com/reticulatedpines/magiclantern

Looks like it's update up to 3 Jul 2018, I can't find most relevant branches (crop_rec_*, manual_lens_info, vxworks...) into your repo unfortunally.
@names_are_hard Can you check please? May be usefull as backup.

Still wishing we can get more good PR merged into codebase as possible before sunsetting to avoid loosing some works from cummunity...

[names_are_hard]

@aprofiti, thanks, all the branches I'd needed were always in both so I hadn't noticed any differences.  I don't know why crop_rec isn't there, I'd expect it to be, looking at Hudson.  But, Mercurial means "branch" means something different to Git "branch", so maybe it's expected and I just don't understand Mercurial well enough.  It's baffling to me that there are so many different live branches in Hudson repo.

I guess it's some problem with the scripts I used to import Mercurial bitbucket to Git github.  I'll see if I can get it working better but I don't have high confidence.

I don't have the knowledge of Mercurial or the desire to learn it, in order to make a Mercurial copy of existing Hudson ML.  If anyone wants that to exist, they should make one.

It is up to date past 2018, I guess you were looking at a particular branch that hasn't been updated since 2018.

Got another suggestion for Mercurial hosting: foss.heptapod.net (fork of GitLab):
https://heptapod.net/

Test account (just created; empty for now):
https://foss.heptapod.net/ml/

According to their docs, it imports Bitbucket repositories, including issues and open pull requests:
https://heptapod.net/pages/tuto-bb-import.html

To create the repository, there's no option on the user interface; I need to apply with a public discussion on their issue tracker: https://heptapod.net/a-public-heptapod-for-free-and-open-source-software.html

I have no problems doing that, as long as there will be some consensus. There is also an option to self-host (as an alternative to Kallithea, mentioned earlier).

BTW, I happen to have a two-week holiday (starting tomorrow), hopefully enough to solve this issue.

Much appreciated a1ex.

[reddeercity]

yea a1ex !
Also how able this mrcrowl.hg ? I just installed this on my Visual Studio Code app (wins7) and now I installed Mercurial 5.4.1
"Integrated Mercurial source control" so all you need is visual studio code (free) visualstudio-cross-platform-downloads
OS supported is macOS , Windows x64 & Linux x64 . As far as I can see it has all the hg commands  , thou it's seems to be just for github
here the documentation https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/versioncontrol
just a idea to help 

[DeafEyeJedi]

Excellent find, @alex! I am so glad I came across this thread. I was about to go insanity and worried shitless about our history within this community. I’m on board w you guys to keep us all thriving to the fullest of our abilities.

I actually like your ideas @reddeercity. Will take a look into it.

Found this: https://github.com/philipstarkey/bitbucket-hg-exporter

It exports a Bitbucket repository and all of its forks, as JSON, including issues, comments and so on. Requires login, but is able to download any repo where you have read access (i.e. any public repos). Only one thread per user allowed (there are rate limits). Optional export to Github (didn't try, but there is an example here).

Important: to use the script, you will need to make this change, or wait for my PR to be merged upstream.

Currently trying to export the main repository (hudson/magic-lantern) and all of its forks. Been running for over 36 hours, still downloading, about 500 MiB downloaded, no idea how much is left (hours? days? weeks? maybe more?). Cannot download other repos until this is finished.

Forks identified by the script (download in progress; duplicates removed from the log):

TODO:

1) All other Mercurial repositories from past and current contributors, that were not direct forks of hudson/magic-lantern.

There are clones of the magic-lantern repository that are not detected as forks (so, the automated script doesn't detect them). We need to identify those.

There are also standalone projects related to ML, such as ml-focus-pixels. We need to identify those as well.

Downloading all Mercurial repositories from the above 338 users (as identified by the script) might be close enough, and can be automated by hacking the Bitbucket exporter script. I can try to do that.

I need help identifying the contributions from users that were not identified in the above list. For example, xaint (https://bitbucket.org/xaint/magic-lantern-astro-module/) is one of them. OK, that repository is Git, but the point is - there might be ML-related contributions that were not direct forks of the main repository, AND their authors might not have a direct fork of the main repository.

Already downloaded:
- https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/ml-focus-pixels/ and its fork https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/ml-focus-pixels-danne/


2) All other interesting Mercurial repositories from Bitbucket, not related to ML, in particular, unmaintained projects (these will be lost forever, unless archive.org already crawled them).

As with the above, you can help by suggesting repository URLs.

Even better: if you know a list of all public Mercurial repositories, or if you can ask Bitbucket staff, or your favorite search engine, to supply such a list, or if you know anyone else trying to archive all Mercurial repos from Bitbucket, your help will be very appreciated


To check whether a Bitbucket repository is Mercurial or Git, click on Commits, then click on any commit, then - View raw commit. If it begins with HG changeset patch, it's a Mercurial repository. If it begins with an e-mail subject, it's a Git repository. If you know an easier way, please chime in.

If you can back up the repositories on your own, I'd also appreciate. What if my backups will fail?

@reddeercity: mrcrowl.hg is a Mercurial GUI for Visual Studio Code. Not relevant here. It's not a Mercurial hosting service, and it's not going to stop Bitbucket from deleting Mercurial repositories.

[nikfreak]

Please don't make THE decision to selfhost a repo. I personally think it's time to move to git as it seems to be more widely adopted but ofc having backups of all repos is a good idea. I am unsure if you really need to have a backup from all forks. Mine for e.g. might be skipped if 70D and 100D got merged.

Idea: I suggest merging PRs (read: not all) as much as possible either before or short after leaving bitbucket. Everyone wanting the "old" aka "nightly stable" builds might download it from ml website. This might be a chance to "force" community as well as newbies to participate on the new platform and speed things up.

[aprofiti]

More repository with useful work not identified by the script:

https://bitbucket.org/coutts/1000d_dev/
https://bitbucket.org/coutts/5dplus/
https://github.com/400plus/400plus/ (ML Related)

2) All other interesting Mercurial repositories from Bitbucket, not related to ML, in particular, unmaintained projects (these will be lost forever, unless archive.org already crawled them).

Tried some times ago using Wayback machine to save PR's source code, but unfortunately was failing due to JS based views  and also noticed even no screenshoots in many years for pages in main repo...

[a1ex]

I am unsure if you really need to have a backup from all forks.

Some of these forks might have useful commits that were not (yet?) submitted as pull requests; possibly fixing some personal issue of the author. Good luck identifying them manually. Yours is one out of over 500

But if you have a backup of all these repos, you could write a script to identify those commits that are not present in the main repository. These commits can be reviewed later; maybe some of them could end up useful. Maybe some of them were referenced here on the forum, and forgotten. If one of us will revisit such a discussion, there will be a way to find those old commits in the archive.

Mine for e.g. might be skipped if 70D and 100D got merged.

These two are already in the main (hudson) repository, and on the main download page. Just not in "unified" yet.

So, they can be skipped without further action

Idea: I suggest merging PRs (read: not all) as much as possible either before or short after leaving bitbucket.

I wouldn't do any further development (including PR merging) before finding a new home for the repository (whether it will be heptapod, hg.sr.ht, github, gitlab, kallithea or whatever).

Even if I'm currently on holiday, I won't be available 24/7 for this task, so I still need to prioritize. Having copies of all the data before it's deleted, is essential in my opinion. Deciding what to merge, what needs further cleanup, running tests and so on, can be done afterwards, without time pressure.

Another important task is, in my opinion, an archive of all current Mercurial repositories (not necessarily related to ML). Some of them might be unmaintained projects, that could be still interesting for someone. I don't currently have a list of these repos, and I'm not aware of any existing efforts in this direction (my google-fu is not the best), but already started to research the topic. Edit - found some:
- https://octobus.net/blog.html (which brings quite a few bonus points for heptapod)
- https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern
- https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://bitbucket.org/coutts/5dplus

And yes, I'd rather complete that before the July 1st deadline, and focus on PRs afterwards, as time permits.

Please don't make THE decision to selfhost a repo.

No decision has been made yet. I'd appreciate some arguments for and against the alternatives mentioned throughout this thread (not just the self-hosting ones, but *all* of them).

I personally think it's time to move to git as it seems to be more widely adopted

I wouldn't rush to move to git either. One particular reason for sticking with Mercurial is that, throughout the forum and the documentation, there are several places mentioning Mercurial changeset IDs. While I was actively developing, I used to click these links very often, so, in my opinion, they are valuable. If we switch to another Mercurial hosting, updating these links would be doable with a find/replace. Is there a relatively straightforward way to do the same with a Git clone of our existing repository? If yes, how?

Also, besides my lack of experience with git, here's a possibly more objective reason:
http://www.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/people/Pierre.Augier/mercurial-as-a-great-version-source-control-management-tool-in-academics.html

Keep in mind that article was written before Bitbucket announced their plans to delete Mercurial repos.

BTW, if there is a way to provide a hg+git workflow, I'd look into that.

[names_are_hard]

That Mercurial article reads as entirely subjective to me.  It's from the point of view of someone who already knows Mercurial, and finds Git more complicated.  I know more Git and trying to learn Mercurial I found that more complicated.  I never used SVN, perhaps that makes a difference, I know Mercurial has more similarities to it.

That said, it's easy for me to copy it to Git and work there, so I don't think the choice of SCM is a big deal.  When needed I can update a local Hg copy, do the work to make an Hg PR and then go back to Git.  No problem.  So, I defer to whoever controls the repo on what they want to use.  I'm happy Alex is able to spend some time preserving it!

Regardless of whether Mercurial is technically better or worse, I will say that because Git has won, and Mercurial is slowly dying, there may be a benefit to picking a Git hosting provider.  All the big providers are Git and a bigger provider is less likely to disappear like Atlassian's Mercurial hosting.  Something allowing hg and git tooling but backed by Git feels a nice compromise to me - but again, it's not my call and I don't think it's a big deal.  Mercurial can never entirely die, it's open-source and distributed version control.

[a1ex]

It's from the point of view of someone who already knows Mercurial, and finds Git more complicated.

Right. I happen to know Mercurial, and got used to it while developing ML, but have nearly zero experience with Git, and I somehow doubt I'm the only one in this community. But, surely there are many others who started by learning Git and find it easier to work with.

Old habits die hard, on both sides, of course, which is why I'm looking for ways to provide a dual workflow. So far, I've found these:
- hg-git (the main repo should be git; not sure how "lossless" the conversion will be)
- git-hg-again (bidirectional hg-git? you use "git hg clone/fetch/push/pull" to interact with a Mercurial repo)
- git-hg (the main repo should be hg; you use "git-hg clone/fetch/pull/checkout/push" for interacting with it)
- Git-hg Mirror (for syncing a hg and a git repo? works either as web service or as self-hosted Windows service)

See also this Stack Overflow page.

TODO: evaluate these.

Regardless of whether Mercurial is technically better or worse, I will say that because Git has won, and Mercurial is slowly dying, there may be a benefit to picking a Git hosting provider.

It also feels like accepting the defeat. Though, I wouldn't exclude a git mirror on github/gitlab and a hg mirror on heptapod (most likely), keep them in sync somehow, and accept contributions from both sides.


One important thing to note about Heptapod is that, at least for now, they don't support personal forks. So, the development is more or less centralized, and all the contributors will have to be granted development access.

It works somehow like this: anyone with the Developer permission can publish draft changes, using the so-called topics (some kind of lightweight branches, at first sight closer to git branches, I guess). On these draft changes, history is editable, so I should be able to polish them as I see fit, before making them "public" (or "set in stone").

There's also support for the evolve extension, apparently another thing worth trying. In the past, I used to try not only to have readable code, but also readable commits (i.e. to squeeze all those "typo/fixup" commits before making them public, as I used to read the code history quite often). But this was time-consuming; curious to see whether the evolve extension can help.

There's also hg absorb in recent Mercurial (I wasn't aware of it), which also seems to fit my previous workflow pretty well. Apparently it's an alternative to evolve, but I need to actually try these things before drawing a conclusion.

[a1ex]

Another important task is, in my opinion, an archive of all current Mercurial repositories (not necessarily related to ML). Some of them might be unmaintained projects, that could be still interesting for someone. I don't currently have a list of these repos [...]

Here's a quick hack to get a list of all the repositories stored on Bitbucket (replace the "main" of bitbucket_hg_exporter):

Code: [Select]

def main():
    #~ project = MigrationProject()
    # no auth needed
    # force pagelen=100 (default 10) for speed reasons
    status, json_data = bbapi_json("https://bitbucket.org/api/2.0/repositories/", None, {'pagelen': 100})
    while True:
        for repo in json_data["values"]:
            print(repo["scm"], repo["full_name"], repo["created_on"], repo["updated_on"], repo["website"])
            # many other parameters available:
            #~ for k,v in repo.items():
                #~ print(k, v)
        sys.stdout.flush()
        if 'next' in json_data:
            next = json_data['next']
            status, json_data = bbapi_json(next, None, {'pagelen': 100})
            while json_data is None or "values" not in json_data:
                print("retrying", file=sys.stderr)
                status, json_data = bbapi_json(next, None, {'pagelen': 100})
        else: break

Not very fast; about 1000 repos / minute at first sight. Let's see where this ends up. Octobus found about 250.000 Mercurial projects; this could be useful for cross-checking their list. A second backup of all these repos (plain "hg clone" without metadata) shouldn't hurt

edit: updated the script to retry failed requests.

[names_are_hard]

A dual workflow would be a nice bonus, but, given the low volume of commits to ML I think keeping things easier for the few devs that know it well is the more important goal.  If you find a way that I can avoid learning Mercurial, I will be grateful, but this is a goal far down the list!  Functionally, Git and Hg are almost identical, but learning the one you don't know is pain and minimising dev pain is the important goal I think.  Even though that means I have to suffer

It also feels like accepting the defeat

My personal opinion only: sort of.  There's so much more corporate money being poured into secondary Git based tools that even if Hg is better, the Git experience may be better overall.  Things like hosting, integration into build systems, UI, documentation, etc.  OS/2 was better than Windows at the time, but Windows is better than OS/2 now.  If OS/2 had won, current OS/2 would be better than current Windows - but it didn't win, therefore Windows got all the money and dev time.  Windows is functionally better even though many design decisions of the internals are worse.  Picking the better option isn't defeat.  I don't think this is very relevant to ML!  I just find it interesting.

For preservation, this looks useful, it claims it can make a local backup of "pull request history, issue trackers, wikis, forks, attachments and commit comments":
https://github.com/philipstarkey/bitbucket-hg-exporter
It is designed for compatibility: "Issues can also be imported to GitHub, and commit hashes, issues links, pull-request links, URLs (including to source code), usernames, etc. will be rewritten to point to GitHub and/or the generated BitBucket archive"

I'll give that a try since it sounds useful whatever the solution ends up being.


The Octobus archive should cover ML as I understand it:
https://www.softwareheritage.org/2020/04/23/rescuing-250000-endangered-mercurial-repositories/

But we can't rely on it, since we cannot test it until after the deletion: "After June 30th, once BitBucket deletes the archived result, we will make them available to the public."
Just saw your edit, the repo archives are live, that's good.  But, it "only" list 119 branches?  I think the real number is over 300.  Their snapshot date says Oct 2019 which is odd, but I don't think would make that much difference.

[a1ex]

I'll give that a try since it sounds useful whatever the solution ends up being.

It will fail out of the box, but if you apply my patch (linked above), it should work.

Current status: been running that script for ~ 48 hours, about 100.000 files (2 GiB) downloaded, still running. Several error messages about issue attachments, but downloading these attachments manually does work. Example:

Code: [Select]

Thread 0 (a1ex): hudson/magic-lantern: ERROR: Unexpected response code 500 for endpoint repositories/hudson/magic-lantern/issues/2753/attachments/CRASH00.LOG
Thread 0 (a1ex): hudson/magic-lantern: ERROR: Unexpected response code 500 for endpoint repositories/hudson/magic-lantern/issues/2753/attachments/CRASH01.LOG

Thread 0 (a1ex): hudson/magic-lantern: ERROR: Unexpected response code 500 for endpoint repositories/hudson/magic-lantern/issues/2753/attachments/log001.log

Some attachments were successfully downloaded, others not. Didn't investigate yet.


The other script (list of all Bitbucket repos) identified 36700 repos at the time of writing. Will re-check tomorrow morning.

[Danne]

Nice script .
+1 for both mercurial and git.
+10 for keeping mercurial.
I created some curl "repo_ripper" downloading all forks from a bitbucket user based upon knowing the name of the main repository but the script mentioned seems taking care of it all.
Again, relieved that back up download is being done and checking into the possibility of keeping mercurial alive.
Wish my vacation would start already...

[a1ex]

Status update:

- my fix was merged into bitbucket-hg-exporter, so you no longer have to patch the source code

- the "big" script downloaded the entire hudson repo (took about 50 hours, give or take) and started to download the smaller forks (15 out of 540 in ~ 10 hours? it might finish before the deadline if we are lucky ). I'll probably stop it and just "hg clone" the forks, without saving the metadata.

- the "small" script ran for 20 hours and identified 330782 git repos and 161318 hg ones. It appears to have stopped prematurely for who-knows-what reason, so I'll try to figure out what happened. Thinking to "hg clone" each of the Mercurial ones, as a low-priority background task, and provide an archive somewhere (just in case Software Heritage misses anything).

[ilia3101]

- the "small" script ran for 20 hours and identified 330782 git repos and 161318 hg ones.

Are you downloading all of bitbucket?

[a1ex]

Only half of it, i.e. what will be deleted. I assume most of these repos are small (guess: 10MiB on average?), so I guess the entire thing should fit on an external HDD that's sitting around. If it won't fit, I can delete large blobs (can be automated), attempt some deduplication (skip clones that bring no contributions on their own), or skip large repos that already found a new home (looking them up can probably be automated as well).

Or, at least, it could be a fun exercise. So far, it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

for f in $(cat all-repos.txt | grep '^hg ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2); do
  echo $f
  if [ ! -f $f.tar.bz2 ]; then
    if hg clone -U https://bitbucket.org/$f $f; then    # some repos may have been deleted?
      tar -cvjSf $f.tar.bz2 $f
      rm -rf $f
    fi
  fi
done

So far: 400 repos downloaded in ~ 40 minutes, total 1.7 GiB, less than 5 MiB/repo average.

[Danne]

Pretty stoked it´s actually possible to download ALL mercurial repositories. I did something in that direction to grab my own repos and have them all downloaded into a folder I call repo_ripper. Goes something like this:

Code: [Select]

list=$(printf '%s\n' $(grep -o -E 'repo-list--repo-name" href=".{0,50}' <<< $(curl -L "https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/"workspace/projects/PROJ) | cut -d '/' -f3 | cut -d '"' -f1))
mkdir -p repo_ripper
cd repo_ripper
while read -r line; do
    hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/$line
done <<< "$list"

[names_are_hard]

@Danne that's what a public repo means

@aprofiti - thanks to you noticing some branches seemed missing in my import, I rechecked things and worked out at least some of the problems.  This is certainly a better import (maybe it's even correct):
https://github.com/reticulatedpines/magiclantern_hg_02

hg-fast-export can't handle unnamed heads (why is this even a thing? The Mercurial branch model is so confusing).  I think the mistake I made last time was to use the --force option.  While this ignores errors enough to let the script proceed, perhaps it still can't export the broken parts?  Maybe even their children too?  This time, I allowed the script to error, it was always to do with unnamed heads, I then ran this on each revision number listed in the error:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

hg update -r $1
hg branch "$1_fix_unnamed_head"
echo "$(hg log -r $1 --template '{desc}')"
hg commit -m "Naming branch from commit: $(hg log -r $1 --template '{desc}')"

Git doesn't allow branches starting with "/", and something in hg-fast-export also doesn't like spaces in branch names, this was the mapping file I ended up using:

Code: [Select]

"/raw_recc-added-121-and-11751-aspect-rati-1382109783386"="raw_recc-added-121-and-11751-aspect-rati-1382109783386"
"/added-1792-resolution-1390499711758"="added-1792-resolution-1390499711758"
"crop hack disable"="crop_hack_disable"
"refs/heads/Windows build_tools"="refs/heads/Windows_build_tools"
"Windows build_tools"="Windows_build_tools"
"refs/heads/MinGW x-compile"="refs/heads/MinGW_x-compile"
"MinGW x-compile"="MinGW_x-compile"

Here's the script arguments I used, should anyone else want to do similar:

Code: [Select]

../hg-fast-export.sh -r /home/user/path/magiclantern_hg_clone/magic-lantern -B /home/user/path/branch_mapping.txt -n --hg-hash


[Danne]

@Danne that's what a public repo means

I know what public means. Still stoked about potent scripts swiping clean.
