I just started to run it, it does running 861 tests using 4 parallel processes and it run and it runs the fan of my laptop starts because of the danger of overheating, I had to cancel it.

You can run it without running the tests. It's actually relatively likely that at least one of the tests will fail, and then the build will also fail. I just tried it, and 3 of the tests failed. I know how to do the build without running the tests for normal Debian packages, but I'm not sure how to do it in this case. I suggest asking on the mailing lists, or probably better, on IRC. Mercurial IRC is #mercurial, Evolve is #hg-evolve, both on Freenode. I redcommend Hexchat if you don't already have a IRC client of choice. Alternatively, you can use the latest Debian packaging with the 5.0 sources. It's not hard to build it. Note also that Evolve has a Debian package that you can build. I actually just finished writing instructions for building the package, which you can see in the development version of the README, at https://bitbucket.org/octobus/evolve-devel. Comments welcomed, of course. Regards, Faheem Mitha
