build: fake PEP440 versions If the current version is not exactly a tag, use a local version specifier to fix it up. PEP 440 uses the "+" separator and only allows alphanumeric and dot, so use dot for further separations.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
