Details

Description: With the current version of mercurial in [extra], which is version 2.1-1, users cannot build *-hg development packages in the AUR. The problem arises from a return code change that upstream put in mercurial 2.1. I documented the things I noticed in the comments of [1]. Upstream has already reversed the commit in their 'stable' branch[2], but upstream has not released a stable 2.1.1 or 2.2 version yet. I am requesting that the mercurial package in [extra] have that commit reversed and re-released as 2.1-2. According to [3], there will probably be a 2.1.1 or 2.2 released around 2012-03-01, so if this is true, just ignore this bug report.

Additional info:
* package version: 2.1-1


Steps to reproduce:

* Install an AUR package that uses hg
* Try to update the package
* Receive this error:
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Just pushed to [extra] mercurial-2.1-2
Please, let me know if it works now, so I can close this bug report.

I just tested this multiple times with ttf-google-webfonts, and it worked every time without issue. Thanks for the quick turnaround! :)
