If you are familiar with version control systems and Mercurial in particular,
paul@813 27
it can be convenient to use this approach to obtain and update the software,
paul@813 28
although you should be aware that updates made available in the repository may,
paul@813 29
if deployed, cause the software to not function correctly on occasion, even if
paul@813 30
attempts are made to avoid such situations. Therefore, you should choose to
paul@813 31
update with care and be prepared to switch to a "known working" revision if
paul@813 32
necessary.
