I have forget to tell that I did not have to patch the file like you said, as they have included it in the current version.

just do make setup-useadd

Thanks for the help Ahmed.

but while I tried to setup over CentOS 5.2 I had to remove the documentation build from the make file.

Just find the line that says:

`installfiles: installetc installdoc pythoninstall`

and replace it with:

`installfiles: installetc pythoninstall`

I had also to remove –system parameter from the useradd command.

I hope this help others…

Also, when installing by hand, the refresh-auth command ends up in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/share/mercurial-server.

I’m using mercurial-server 1.0.1, using the new setup-useradd make target. Trying to pull the hgadmin repo gives a password prompt, but there is no password for the hg user.

Hmmm…not sure what’s going on yet.

This has been added to the mercurial-server Makefile so you can use:

sudo make setup-useradd
