Bugzilla Bug 133386

dev-util/mercurial-0.8.1 works on ppc64.
I emerged it and everything appears to be in working order.  Since there is no
version of mercurial marked stable on ppc64, this would be a good candidate.

added ~ppc64 to mercurial >0.8

Sorry, I don't think I was clear.  Currently all mercurial packages are masked
as unstable (i.e., ~ppc64).  I have tested dev-util/mercurial-0.8.1 on my
power3 system and it works.  Please mark this ebuild as stable (i.e., ppc64).

Note:  mercurial-0.7.ebuild has no ppc64 flag at all.  You might want to add
one.

hmm.. I'm pretty sure that I've added ~ppc64 yesterday and the diff from cvs
shows me the same: no ~ppc64 in mercurial ebuilds untill yesterday... mercurial
will go stable in 30 days, if no bugs are opened for it.

Or am I missunderstanding the situation?

Alright, if the precedure is to wait 30 days, then I will wait and keep it
unmasked in my tree until then.  Thanks
