All, I'm happy to report that the official Mecurial port is complete and has been accepted upstream. Starting with version 2.2, Mercurial will support Plan 9 and friends out of the box.
You can find more information about the port here: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Plan9FromBellLabs http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/FactotumExtension I've updated stallion/mercurial to version 2.2-rc for the time being. The official 2.2 release is scheduled for the first of May. As soon as the release is made, I'll update the package. Some (slightly) bad news: Due to the number of changes that needed to be made in order for the port to be accepted upstream, I decided to recreate the contrib package. If you have installed a previous revision of stallion/mercurial, please be sure to completely remove it before installing the new one. Installation is slightly manual since it requires removing incorrect paths that were installed by bichued/python, however the process is documented in the Plan9FromBellLabs page above and in sources/contrib/stallion/src/mercurial/README. Cheers, Steve
