Bazaar-2.5.1, CVS-1.11.23, git-2.1.0, GnuPG-2.0.26 (gpg2 with Python bindings), Subversion-1.8.10 (with Python bindings), Docutils (required to build the documentation), pyflakes, pygments, and pyOpenSSL
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/mercurial
Build Mercurial by issuing the following command:
make build
To build the documentation (requires Docutils), issue:
make doc
Running the test suite is optional. Failure of test-patchbomb is
expected with Python-2.7.x (x >
7). To test the results in the subdiretory tests/tmp, skipping the failing test, issue:
cat > tests/blacklists/test-failed << "EOF"
# Failure with Python-2.7.8
test-patchbomb.t
EOF
rm -rf tests/tmp &&
TESTFLAGS="--tmpdir tmp --blacklist blacklists/test-failed" \
make check
Tests may be run in parallel, just add “-j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)” to TESTFLAGS.
Install Mercurial by running the
following command (as root):
make PREFIX=/usr install-bin
If you built the documentation, install it by running the following
command (as root):
make PREFIX=/usr install-doc
After installed, two very quick and simple tests should run correctly. First one needs some configuration:
cat >> ~/.hgrc << "EOF"
[ui]
username = <user_name> <your@mail>
EOF
where you must replace <user_name> and <your@mail> (mail is optional and can be omitted). With the user identity defined, run hg debuginstall and several lines will be displayed, the last one reading "no problems detected". Another quick and simple test is just hg, which should output basic commands that can be used with hg.
/etc/mercurial/hgrc
If you have installed the Certificate Authority
Certificates and you want Mercurial to use them, as the root user:
install -v -d -m755 /etc/mercurial &&
cat > /etc/mercurial/hgrc << "EOF"
[web]
cacerts = /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt
EOF
