tortoiseHG port has incompatible mercurial version

[p.dutton@…]

Hi,

I've installed the tortoisehg port but it will not run. It's saying:

** Mercurial version (2.2.1).  TortoiseHg version (2.1.2)
** Command: 
** CWD: /
** Encoding: ascii
** Extensions loaded: 
** Python version: 2.7.3 (default, May  8 2012, 12:36:09) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)]
** Qt-4.7.4 PyQt-4.9.1

This version of TortoiseHg requires Mercurial version 1.9.n to 1.10.n, but found 2.2.1

The Mercurial version specified was installed as a dependency of this port, so I didn't have the opportunity to select a different version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Peter

I guess we should update tortoisehg to a version that is compatible with mercurial 2.2.1. I see tortoisehg 2.4 is available from their web site so we should try updating the port to that version.

Is this something I can do myself (e.g. just changing the version number in the port file) or is it more complicated?

I ran into this bug too. You can edit the file /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tortoisehg/util/hgversion.py and force the version check to pass regardless of mercurial version. The function now reads:

def checkhgversion(v):
    """range check the Mercurial version"""
    #Force version check to return OK, regardless of mercurial
    if True:
        return
    reqver = ['1', '9']
    ...

It seems to work, but of course this is not the correct solution.

Cheers, Craig

Maybe. The only way to find out is to try changing the version and checksums and seeing if it works.
