Even on my recent Ubuntu I have installed Mercurial 1.3.1. I can confirm that I have no problem with new version (checked). > BTW, should the DRCS discussion rear its head anytime soon, this is a > useful website for those new to DRCS and Mercurial: > http://hginit.com/index.html And I would suggest to start from official Mercurial Home at once, more that Joel in his "cartoon" presentation suggests the same on the last page. More short intro (no pictures) http://mercurial.selenic.com/guide/ Working practices http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WorkingPractices Nostalgia http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CvsLikePractice And Bible. Mercurial: The Definitive Guide http://hgbook.red-bean.com/ I found no words about Mercurial Queues (MQ) in Joel's intro :-( The MQ is DRCS style to manage the series of patches (and we manage the patches in the most). It is pity that hgqinit.com is a free domain :-) Fortunately, 'Mercurial: The Definitive Guide' graceful covers this topic (Chapters 12 and 13). Of course, practice to clone is useful in some cases, but, I listen how Git geeks will say: Git's branching are no-disk-waste operations, and HG clones? Hm... Fortunately, I knew the very effective HG's no-disk-waste operation, those are `hg q*'. Have a single central repository under HG, setup the DRCSed "repository" for a queue of the patches: `hg qinit' and then manage MQs (=patches) `hg qnew': do hundreds of HG `hg qrefresh', `hg qcommit' (that is your pain, your mistakes, your experimental stuff, if you want nobody see that ever) and then in one day type `hg qfinish' to apply excellent patch to the central repository. End of MQ (hg qinit) propaganda. Sergei --
