paul@49 | 27 | If you are familiar with version control systems and Mercurial in particular, |
paul@49 | 28 | it can be convenient to use this approach to obtain and update the software, |
paul@49 | 29 | although you should be aware that updates made available in the repository |
paul@49 | 30 | may, if deployed, cause the software to not function correctly on occasion, |
paul@49 | 31 | even if attempts are made to avoid such situations. Therefore, you should |
paul@49 | 32 | choose to update with care and be prepared to switch to a "known working" |
paul@49 | 33 | revision if necessary. |
