For the last 6 months I've not updated the mercurial package to the recent major versions because py-hg-git was not compatible. The mercurial package contains code exposed to the network and I don't feel comfortable backporting bugfixes just because some extensions are not compatible with the recent API changes.
Mercurial 4.8 will include a lot of good changes and I don't want to put on hold another version. In the next days, I will remove any broken extension. I will do the same in the future for new mercurial versions. This wiki explains how to keep a local copy in your home of the extensions which are not available from ports: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/UsingExtensions#Enabling_an_extension I will ask for OKs for the deletion of packages with active maintainers and will remove directly the ports with unactive maintainers. I will try to update the extensions with a new version available but I will not try too hard. Cheers. -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info
