How much effort would support for Mercurial be?

[photex]

Hello,

There is at least one interesting project I'd like to create a CPM module for. Unfortunately the project uses Hg.
https://bitbucket.org/tunnuz/json/overview

I would love to see CPM become the tool of choice for c++ libraries to make themselves available to a wider audience. This might be one step to making that happen. Projects in general are starting to use CMake more frequently which is a good path as well.

Anyway, before I just create a git mirror of that repo I thought I'd get a feel for the work involved in supporting mercurial in CPM instead.

Cheers,

Chip

I just learned about the ExternalProject support in Cmake. CPM works a bit differently of course, but maybe the path forward to actually wrap that instead?

Hey Photex. @toeb actually added mercurial support already, I just haven't documented it (I really should do that!)

Here's the link to the pull request and subsequent resolution: #6 . Let me know if you have any issues and I'll update the documentation tomorrow.

Zing! Thanks @iauns
