Doing "apt install mercurial" installed 5.5.1. So I thought I'd get the latest, 5.7.1. The download page suggest using some PPA for ubuntu, it seems years out of date.

Indeed we had a brief discussion a while back:

The recommendation to compile from sources doesn't make Mercurial an attractive option. The simple ‘make all install’ doesn't install ‘chg’ (which I believe is essential for a decent user experience), nor does it install shell completion, etc.

Is there anyone with Launchpad experience who could take care of this?

Cheers,
Marcus
