According to this page, you can change where hgweb looks for templates by editing either /etc/mercurial/hgrc or the .hgrc file in the home directory of the user running hgweb: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Theming Rather than making a complex postinstall script than can manage overrides sanely, it would be better to copy the packaged template files into a new location outside of the paths managed by the packages and then configure hgweb to look for them in the new location. You'll then be free to make any changes you like then without fear that they will be inadvertently clobbered. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
