-Features
---------
-
-The following Cargo features are available:
-
-localdev (default)
-   Produce files that work with an in-source-tree build.
-
-   In this mode, the build finds and uses a ``python2.7`` binary from
-   ``PATH``. The ``hg`` binary assumes it runs from ``rust/target/<target>hg``
-   and it finds Mercurial files at ``dirname($0)/../../../``.
-
-Build Mechanism
----------------
-
-The produced ``hg`` binary is *bound* to a CPython installation. The
-binary links against and loads a CPython library that is discovered
-at build time (by a ``build.rs`` Cargo build script). The Python
-standard library defined by this CPython installation is also used.
-
-Finding the appropriate CPython installation to use is done by
-the ``python27-sys`` crate's ``build.rs``. Its search order is::
-
-1. ``PYTHON_SYS_EXECUTABLE`` environment variable.
-2. ``python`` executable on ``PATH``
-3. ``python2`` executable on ``PATH``
-4. ``python2.7`` executable on ``PATH``
-
-Additional verification of the found Python will be performed by our
-``build.rs`` to ensure it meets Mercurial's requirements.
-
-Details about the build-time configured Python are built into the
-produced ``hg`` binary. This means that a built ``hg`` binary is only
-suitable for a specific, well-defined role. These roles are controlled
-by Cargo features (see above).
-
-Running
-=======
-
-The ``hgcli`` crate produces an ``hg`` binary. You can run this binary
-via ``cargo run``::
-
-   $ cargo run --manifest-path hgcli/Cargo.toml
-
-Or directly::
-
-   $ target/debug/hg
-   $ target/release/hg
-
-You can also run the test harness with this binary::
-
-   $ ./run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg
-
-.. note::
-
-   Integration with the test harness is still preliminary. Remember to
-   ``cargo build`` after changes because the test harness doesn't yet
-   automatically build Rust code.
