If you want to setup mercurial-server on fedora or centos/rhel server you are going to see lots of failure messages during installation and the installation will definitely fail.

Mercurial-server was written to run smoothly on debian-based systems, so I patched it to run on fedora/centos and I would like to share the patch with you.

Using the patch is straight-forward, simply download the tip or the latest version of mercurial-server and put the patch file into the extracted directory.

patch < mercurial-server-centos.patch

the patch is a few lines, so it’s naive for professionals.

Have Fun.
