Xcode Continuous Integration and Mercurial

Question

As I read here OS X Server running on OS X Mavericks now supports continuous integration.

The Xcode service supports two popular source control systems: Git and Subversion. You can use Git and Subversion repositories hosted on remote servers, and you can host and use Git repositories on the server running the Xcode service.

I was really confused that Apple ignores Mercurial in this case.

So the questions:

1. Are there any workarounds how to use Mercurial repository with XCode continious integration?

2. If NO, are there any else tools to provide continuous integration with Mercurial?

Answer 1

1. I've also been trying to make the OS X Server Xcode service use Mercurial. I've tried using http://www.creaceed.com/mercurialplugin, but it looks like this doesn't affect the Xcode service's source control functionality. However, I believe that you could create a git repository that mirrors an hg repository using https://github.com/rfk/git-remote-hg.

2. As for other continuous integrations tools that do support Mercurial, we use TeamCity and it works well. See also: Recommendations for Continuous integration for Mercurial/Kiln + MSBuild + MSTest
