debian7(wheezy)升级安装mercurial hg最新版2.8-RC,解决tortoisehg2.9.2不能使用。

debian&(wheezy)之前的仓库版本是2.2.2. 

注： 本文以 # 为开始的行是工作在root下的模式，在终端显示为root的提示符# ,用户目录的($:)需要切换到root(使用su - 命令)

卸载

#apt-get remove mercurial mercurial-common

下载最新的
http://mercurial.selenic.com/downloads/
#wget http://mercurial.selenic.com/release/mercurial-2.8-rc.tar.gz
解压
#tar -zxvf mercurial-2.8-rc.tar.gz
#cd mercurial...
读下README
#make && make install 
提示
Commonly used make targets:
  all          - build program and documentation
  install      - install program and man pages to PREFIX (/usr/local)
  install-home - install with setup.py install --home=HOME (/root)
  local        - build for inplace usage
  tests        - run all tests in the automatic test suite
  test-foo     - run only specified tests (e.g. test-merge1.t)
  dist         - run all tests and create a source tarball in dist/
  clean        - remove files created by other targets
                 (except installed files or dist source tarball)
  update-pot   - update i18n/hg.pot

Example for a system-wide installation under /usr/local:
  make all && su -c "make install" && hg version

Example for a local installation (usable in this directory):
  make local && ./hg version

#make local && ./hg version
python setup.py  \
  build_py -c -d . \
  build_ext  -i \
  build_hgexe  -i \
  build_mo
running build_py
Python headers are required to build Mercurial but weren't found in /usr/include/python2.7/Python.h
make: *** [local] Error 1

#make all && su -c "make install" && hg version
继续报错

mercurial/base85.c:13:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
make: *** [build] Error 1

#apt-get install python-dev
安装python-dev版本

再次执行
#make all && su -c "make install" && hg version

继续报错
python runrst hgmanpage  --halt warning \
  --strip-elements-with-class htmlonly hg.1.txt hg.1
abort: couldn't generate documentation: docutils module is missing
please install python-docutils or see http://docutils.sourceforge.net/
make[1]: *** [hg.1] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/softs/linux/mercurial-2.8-rc/doc'
make: *** [doc] Error 2

缺少python-docutils
#apt-get install docutils
Package docutils is a virtual package provided by:
  python3-docutils 0.8.1-8
  python-docutils 0.8.1-8
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'docutils' has no installation candidate

查看python版本，一般是2.X的
#apt-get install python-docutils

重来
#make clean
#make local
#make install-home
#make install-home-bin
#gvim /root/.bashrc
添加
export PYTHONPATH=~/lib/python
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export HGRCPATH=~/.hgrc

然后就安装配置好了

#hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version unknown)

因为是下的rc，所以并没有提示稳定版本号

tortoisehg 需要重新安装，并且去下unstable的版本来支持，地址在这里

http://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/tortoisehg/download

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tortoisehg/tortoisehg_2.9.2-1_all.deb

安装正常，但是使用发现出现了问题，提示了很多错。于是重新打包了一个版本。命名为tortoisehg_2.9.2-2_all.deb

地址在csdn的下载http://download.csdn.net/detail/rainysia/6466565 (不要积分)

适用于官方mercurial-2.8-rc的hg对应的tortoisehg2.9.2不能正常使用的情况。已经在debian7和ubuntu13.04测试过tortoisehg正常使用
