| paul@471 | 26 | If you are familiar with version control systems and Mercurial in particular, |
| paul@471 | 27 | it can be convenient to use this approach to obtain and update the software, |
| paul@471 | 28 | although you should be aware that updates made available in the repository may, |
| paul@471 | 29 | if deployed, cause the software to not function correctly on occasion, even if |
| paul@471 | 30 | attempts are made to avoid such situations. Therefore, you should choose to |
| paul@471 | 31 | update with care and be prepared to switch to a "known working" revision if |
| paul@471 | 32 | necessary. |
