How to use Symfony framework with Mercurial?

Question

I'm starting to use the Symfony php framework.

Where can I find information about the use of Mercurial in my symfony projects?

Answer 1

There are two things you need to keep in mind:

First: Put an .hgignore file in the root folder of your project. Put the following content in this file:

.project
^cache$
^log$
web/uploads
nbproject

nbproject is only needed if you are working with netbeans.

Second: At the moment there is no mercurial repository for Symfony itself, so you can not use the framework as a subrepository at the moment (BTW: I'm planning to setup one on bitbucket in the next days). So if you are using Symfony with svn:external at the moment you need to put a complete copy in the lib/vendor/symfony folder

Thats it :-)
