That's the problem. In the last year, the releases have been lagging, sometimes for months, only published as a tag in bitbucket, not always and not at time for mayor mercurial versions. On the other hand, mercurial is a server exposed to the network using an unsupported python version. Our actual mercurial version would be 1+ year old for 6.8 with large changes in between (python2 to python3). Tortoise is easy to maintain. We could add the port again in the future if upstream starts to release new versions regularly. There is a dev who is trying to move the project to heptapod and the tarballs/binaries to the official mercurial server. They are just not there yet. I will remove the port this night. https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/5443/same-problem-as-always-mercurial-51-is-out https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/thg-dev/wePAki2smKE -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info
