packaging: fix setup.py and install as hgext3rd.topic This changeset is doing two things (gasp): - It fixes various errors in the setup.py - It move the topic source and install into hgext3rd.topic. This last part (code source move) use hgext3rd as namespace package to prevent installation nightmare. This won't be officially supported until Mercurial 3.8, but in the meantime, 3.7 user can enable it using the full package name: [extensions] hgext3rd.topic= Thanks goes to Julien Cristau <julien.cristau@logilab.fr> for the initial version of this.

# topics

Topics are an experiment to see if maybe the workflow defined by git
branches and hg bookmarks is only partially what users want - perhaps
something that feels more like a traditional VCS branch is right, but
that it should "dissolve" upon being finished. This extension exists
to be a sandbox for that experimentation.

# usage

Enable topics like any mercurial extension: download the source code to a
local directory, and add that directory to your `.hgrc`:

    [extensions]
    topics=path/to/hg-topics/src

If you are using Mercurial 3.7 use:

    [extensions]
    hgext3rd.topics=path/to/hg-topics/src
