RhodeCode (RhodiumCode)
=======================

``RhodeCode`` (formerly hg-app) is Pylons based Mercurial repository 
browser/management with build in push/pull server and full text search. It's 
similar to github or bitbucket, but it's suppose to run as standalone hosted 
application, it's open source and focuses more on restricted access to 
repositories. It's powered by vcs_ library that we created to handle many 
various version control systems.

RhodeCode uses `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`_

- Has it's own middleware to handle mercurial_ and git_ protocol request. 
  Each request can be logged and authenticated. Runs on threads unlikely to

  pulls, pushes, forks,registrations. Possible to disable built in hooks
- Server side forks, it's possible to fork a project and hack it free without
  breaking the main.   
- Full text search on source codes, search on file names. All powered by whoosh
  and build in indexing daemons
  (no external search servers required all in one application)
- Rss / atom feeds, gravatar support, download sources as zip/tarballs  
- Async tasks for speed and performance using celery_ (works without them too)  
- Backup scripts can do backup of whole app and send it over scp to desired 
  location
- Setup project descriptions and info inside built in db for easy, non 
  file-system operations
- Added cache with invalidation on push/repo management for high performance and
  always up to date data. 
- Based on pylons 1.0 / sqlalchemy 0.6 / sqlite


Incoming / Plans
----------------

- code review (probably based on hg-review)
- full git_ support, with push/pull server
- project grouping
- redmine integration
