Hi John, I'm also packaging coin3d :-) And I stumbled upon that problem too. Ludovic explained me on IRC: The problem is the metadata directory ".hg": It contains metadata that is not fixed. For normal hg-repositories, it will be stripped away, but not recursively for those with sub-repos. I have a patch that works. I just wasn't sure if it goes to master or to staging, as it could affect the java-packages as well. I'm attaching what I have here, will prepare an official patch tonight or tomorrow. Björn PS: With coin3d, I want to add freecad. If that is your intention too, we should share resources.
