Before using the experimental wok, it's advised to read and understand the Advanced usage of Mercurial, as the experimental wok use MQ to handle the patch queue.

Please note that the source code, wok & packages use a lot of space: don't stock all that into you're RAM unless you're sure that all will run fine. If you use a live system, you can use a physical disk to stock data using the boot option home=; You can also mount de disk (i.e.: on /mnt).

The experimental wok is shared as patches which can't be integrated into cooking wok for now. To use them, you need the extension MQ; So you're ~/.hgrc should contains theses lines:

[extensions]
mq =

First check that the destination disk is mounted. In the directory which will contains the data, create a repertory called experimental and enter in it:

cd destination
mkdir experimental
cd experimental

Download the wok :

hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok wok

If you was root, give read/write permissions to you're normal account; then exit the root one:

chown tux.tux -R wok

The patches will apply well on the revisions for which they was created, but problems can appears with other revisions. The revisions correlated to the last update of the patches can be found here: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-experimental. Update the wok to the good revision:

hg update -C rev

Download experimental patches:

cd .hg
hg clone http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-experimental patches

Apply patches:

cd ..
hg qpush -a

Go into the wok:

cd ?/wok

Unapply patches (don't works if modifications are uncommitted):

hg qpop-a

Update cooking wok:

hg pull

Check the revision to use at http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-experimental and update the working directory to this revision:

hg update -C rev

Update patches repository:

cd .hg/patches
hg pull -u

Apply the new patches:

cd ../..
hg qpush -a
