The old form is a yaml construct that make it hard to share variable definition.

The "extends:" key is a gitlab specific that preserve the variable definition
and just add the new ones. This will help us to reduce duplication.

This has the effect of fixing some of variants definition we though we set while
we did actually not. Most notably, the "rust" variant for 3.12 and 3.13 seems
fully broken in the CI (possibly because some rust-cpython version issue?).

This changeset only reveal such breackage and does not introduce them.

History

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

$ make # see install targets
$ make install # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg # see help

Running without installing::

$ make local # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
