@d6 I can't see the emoji(0x01f494), is it an upside-down smiley? if so, yes.

@d6 Wow, that's an old one too. I must be way behind with my OS updates..

@neauoire i was mostly posting that because i have such fond memories of mercurial.

(i still use it for personal stuff but feels like a lost battle. also distributing python modules/programs is just the worst.)

@neauoire This wasn't done in a package manager that should warn you of the side effects?

@tim_lavoie I think I might have had built hg from source. I can't recall what the story here was..

@neauoire This is why I've converted a few of my devices to #nixos. Not only is there a declarative, functional-style file that defines how and where things come from (including source builds), but is also atomic.

When I do manage to break something, there is a rollback available to get the previous state.
