Hello,
I wish to submit a list of installation problems that I have had with
TortoiseHg in the hopes that they might be fixed:
1) The Ubuntu package from launchpad fails with the following message:
{{{
#!python
** Mercurial version (1.9). TortoiseHg version (2.1.1+88-68df62c90b8a)
** Command:
** CWD: /home/daniel/Other/GCC/hg-trunk
** Encoding: UTF-8
** Extensions loaded: mq, rebase, convert, graphlog, hgsubversion,
crecord, kilnauth
** Python version: 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56) [GCC 4.4.3]
** Qt-4.6.2 PyQt-4.7.2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/tortoisehg/hgqt/run.py", line 504,
in __call__
from thginithook import thginithook
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/mercurial/demandimport.py", line
85, in _demandimport
return _origimport(name, globals, locals, fromlist)
ImportError: No module named thginithook
}}}
So I removed the package and the Mercurial installed via apt-get. I
installed the latest Mercurial from source and tried to run the
TortoiseHg source distribution.
2) The TortoiseHg distribution would benefit from a README file
explaining how to install thg. This should also be included in the
install page of the thg manual:
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/2.1/intro.html#installing-tortoisehg
The way it is today the information is scattered and hard to find. The
only reason I know more or less how to do it is due to the boundless
patience of some people who have explained things to me. At a minimum,
the README should contain at least three things:
1. You don't need to run setup.py, instead just move the thg directory
to its final destination. This bit is currently in the Wiki some place
that I didn't find without help.
2. You also need to change your ~/.hgrc file to add a linke lke:
%include /path/to/tortoisehg/contrib/mergetools.rc
This is the only bit that is currently in the installation page.
3. List of dependencies, including Mercurial dependencies.
There is probably something else missing since I think I've done all of
the above correctly and I still don't have thg working. So whatever I've
missed, should be added as well.
As for my particular case, I have thg 2.1.1 which as far as I can tell
is supposed to work with my Mercurial 1.9:
>>> import mercurial.util
>>> mercurial.util.version()
'1.9'
I also think I have the correct versions of Python and PyQt. But
TortoiseHg dies with the following message:
{{{

}}}
I hope that future versions of TortoiseHg will at least come with a
README file with the correct information. I cannot emphasize this
enough. The most frustrating thing for me was not the fact that it
didn't work, but the fact that the distribution didn't come with
instructions, and secondly, that the installation page on the website
didn't have the necessary information either.
Daniel.
