Hi Bal, HTTP/HTTPS should work without any problems (we've been using it for the last year and a half or so on older versions of Mercurial with no problems). SSH is a bit tougher. Mercurial assumes that OpenSSH is installed on the system. Unfortunately, even if the openssh package is installed there were a couple of problems we came across in Python itself in the pipe handling. Anecdotally speaking, Mercurial has been much more pleasant over HTTP - we haven't looked back since moving our repositories over. To reduce some of the pain, use of the scheme extension allows us to shorten up the repository URLs: hg clone hg://src/someproject In /lib/mercurial/hgrc: [schemes] hg = https://hg.mysite.com/ Cheers, Steve
