Mercurial project hosting

211 Views Asked by At

I need a project hosting with:

  • mercurial support;
  • lightweight, but usable issue tracker (github`s one is pretty close);
  • both public and private repositories/trackers/wiki and so on support;
  • cool customizable dashboard;
  • API and hooks (optional, but nice to have).

I've found codebasehq which looks promising, but It doesn't allow to publish anything, but commit history.

Some points:

  • I'm fine with paying for good project hosting;
  • bitbucket is not an option (huge list of reasons is omitted);
  • usability and reliability is the most important things for me.

Thanks in advance.

UPD1: Primary reasons I want move from bitbucket:

  • totally unusable issue tracker: it makes me cry every time I use one;
  • lack of list of my assigned tickets for all projects, suggested solution seems early alpha (have accessibility problems and lack basic features);
  • not well-designed notification system (sends me notifications about mine comments and so on)
  • dashboard sucks;
  • slow and "wonfixish" reaction (IMHO) on feature requests and bug reports.

UPD2:

Assembla is more appropriate project hosing then fogbugz + klin according my criteria list, so I'm granting bounty to @lazybadger`s answer, but not accepting it, because Assembla works very bad with mercurial repositories and doesn't care about users.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys!

I suggest FogBugz + Kiln.

The issue tracker is just priceless. Wiki, AP, hooks, plugins, everything's there.

Our company switched project hosting + managing/issues tracking to FogBugz/Kiln last year, and we're totally satisfied.

Assembla - separate spaces or Assembla Portfolio

I have to mention:

  • Issue-tracker is good, maybe not so lightweight, but not heavyweight
  • Mercurial supported, but it's a "a poor cousin" since recently - no basic functionality lost, but default hg repo-broswer in iframe is just ugly, compared to Git or SVN custom repo-browser
  • Private and public spaces with custom tools exist
  • Dashboard as separate tool is deprecated (see Assembla Blog again: "Stopping Development/Support Maintaining Current Installations, No New Installations"), but Space Stream-tab is good candidate
  • REST API and Webhooks tool

I have to recommend Kiln & Fogbugz too. Superb tools and flexible pricing for teams of all sizes.

Here's a Youtube video link of Fogcreek co-founder Joel Spolsky talking about what these tools can do for you.
