The configuration is pretty straight forward and can be set up to update a private account on your private StatusNet instance. In your .hgrc file, just add this section:

[statusnet]
username = hgstatusnet
password = secret
server = http://localhost
path = /statusnet
;preprend =


The server and path settings are used to locate the StatusNet instance. In my example, my instance lives at http://localhost/statusnet. I’m also updating hgstatusnet’s account. If I wanted, I could preprend a little bit of text to every message to differentiate repositories, for example.

You also need to configure the hook, like so:

[hooks]
incoming.hgstatusnet = python:hgstatusnet.statusnetutils.post_statusnet_hook


Be sure that the hgstatusnet module is in your python path. Otherwise, it won’t work. Also, be aware that this is an early version and I may want/need to implement more features in the future and that this code comes without warranty.
