Installing mercurial using homebrew does not work. I think it should. A google search shows that other people also have this issue.

I ended up using easy_install, but i'd much rather use homebrew.

Bash:

    $ brew install mercurial
    Mercurial can be install thusly:
    brew install pip && pip install mercurial

    $ brew install pip && pip install mercurial
    ==> Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.14.tar.gz
    File already downloaded and cached to /Users/ln/Library/Caches/Homebrew
    Error: The Distribute brew is only meant to be used against a Homebrew-built Python.
            Homebrew's "distribute" formula is only meant to be installed against a Homebrew-
            built version of Python, but we couldn't find such a version.

            The system-provided Python comes with "easy_install" already installed, with the
            caveat that some Python packages don't install cleanly against Apple's customized
            versions of Python.

            To install distribute against a custom Python, download distribute from:
              http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute
            unzip, and run:
              /path/to/custom/python setup.py install

Mercurial is part of PyPI and we don't duplicate it's packages, sorry.

"brew install https://github.com/adamv/homebrew/raw/duplicates/Library/Formula/mercurial.rb" from the duplicates branch, but it is unsupported.

What if we are creating a formula which depends on mercurial while in building step? How can we check if mercurial is installed in the formula?

unless system "/usr/bin/which -s hg"
  raise "You need to install mercurial bla bla bla"
end

or something along those lines.

Mercurial is available in homebrew and bottled now:

$ brew info mercurial
mercurial: stable 3.2.3 (bottled)
http://mercurial.selenic.com/
/usr/local/Cellar/mercurial/3.1.2 (428 files, 6.2M)
  Poured from bottle
/usr/local/Cellar/mercurial/3.2.3 (424 files, 6.3M) *
  Poured from bottle
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/mercurial.rb

Has the policy changed? I have a build dep on mercurial (go get needs it) and brew audit complains.
