Overview

This extension adds a new command 'postreview' to post changesets for review to a Review Board server.

Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
reviewboard = /path/to/reviewboard_dir

[reviewboard]
# REQUIRED ITEMS:
server          = http://reviewboard.example.com/

# OPTIONAL ITEMS:
# user            = ... # username for login
# password        = ... # password for login
# target_groups   = ... # default review groups
# target_people   = ... # default review people

Usage

To post the tip changeset to the Review board server:

$ hg postreview tip
login to http://reviewboard.example.com
username: ...
password:
Repositories:
[1] Stuff
[2] miscrepo
repository id: 1
review request draft saved: http://reviewboard.example.com/r/366/

To update the review request ID 12 with the tip changeset:

$ hg postreview -r 12 tip
login to http://reviewboard.example.com
username: ...
password:
review request draft saved: http://reviewboard.example.com/r/12/

To request a review for changeset 189 using the upstream repository to determine the base revision to use for a parent diff (see http://www.review-board.org/docs/manual/dev/users/tools/post-review/ for an explanation of parent diffs):

$ hg postreview -o 189

crontab

You can set a crontab to create automatically review ticket for new commit every 5 minutes. Set a crontab on the Review Board server. You must replace PATH_TO_THEANO_REPO:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * cd PATH_TO_THEANO_REPO; hg pull

In the .hg/hgrc file of the repository, add this while substituting REVIEW_BOARD_REPOSITORY_ID:

[hooks]
incoming = hg postreview -i REVIEW_BOARD_REPOSITORY_ID -p $HG_NODE

The -p option is to publish the new review ticket. Otherwise it will be saved as a draft ticket.
