Installing Mercurial on Centos 6

I am trying to install mercurial 2.2 on CentOs 6.3, however I feel that repository of centos is a bit outdated because of which it yum installation always shows that your mercurial is up to date.

Now searched some forum and found some other repository to update mercurial client by using following command and repository:

**

rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/mercurial/mercurial-2.2.2-1.el6.rfx.i686.rpm

**

However it results in following error:

hg = 1.4-3.el6 is needed by (installed) emacs-mercurial-1.4-3.el6.i686

hg = 1.4-3.el6 is needed by (installed) mercurial-hgk-1.4-3.el6.i686

I think due to some package dependency, I am not able to install.

Any help/pointers will be highly appreciated.

echo -e "[mercurial.selenic.com]\nname=mercurial.selenic.com\nbaseurl=https://www.mercurial-scm.org/release/centos\$releasever\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=0" > /etc/yum.repos.d/mercurial.selenic.com.repo \ 
&& yum install -y mercurial

As described in the mercurial wiki. Although, as gpgcheck=0 is kind of evil, I'd skip it if possible.

From the Blog: Install Mercurial Centos 6 VPS Mercurial 2.2.2 Centos 6.4 setup

This the only package you're able to install because other RPM packages require python 2.4 whereas Centos 6 has python 2.6 installed.

rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/mercurial/mercurial-2.2.2-1.el6.rfx.x86_64.rpm

Test your install:

[root@~]# hg version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.2.2)
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com for more information)

I think you will need to uninstall an older (1.4.3) version of Mercurial. Or at least get rid of the emacs-mercurial and mercurial-hgk packages first.
