Mercurial Updates
As revealed recently, I’ve decided to stick with Mercurial as my DVCS. But I’m not really inclined to use the out of date packages that some of my operating systems provide. Then I had an epiphany: it’s a VCS, so I should be able to just use it to keep itself up to date. Software is such wonderful stuff.
Sadly, my Google-fu is not up to the task of finding out how to accomplish this—or else the Mercurial folk don’t support it, but that seems unlikely. Somehow, I haven’t even managed to find out how to subscribe to an RSS feed to tell me about updates.
If any Mercurial-using person out there happens to know the secret answers to these puzzles, I’d be grateful for a pointer.
