Hg has made significant strides since 1.0.2. stallion/hg is what we're using. it's version 1.7.5. we're using it with bichued/python. as i see it, the slight staleness of the port is tertiary. the primary problem is that python modules tend to assume they're on linux, and the secondary problem is that the python port is not as complete as it could be. it would also be nice for a python port to not depend on openssl, bz2 or z. - erik
