FYI: Today's unstable package did not have the Python svn libraries in it, so you won't be able to use it to interoperate with a subversion repository. I'll add that to the nightly build machine so it gets picked up in later installers. I'm also going to add it to the thg-winbuild README so I don't forget again. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
