How to update Mercurial client in CentOS6?

Question

I have Mercurial 1.4 in my CentOS6, but I need to use the Eclipse Plug-in that uses at least Mercurial 1.5. How can I update my Mercurial version in CentOS6?

Setting up Install Process
Package mercurial-1.4-3.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

When I try do download a new RPM(mercurial-1.9-1.el6.rfx.x86_64.rpm) and install it, I got this error:

emacs-mercurial-1.4-3.el6.x86_64 requires hg = 1.4-3.el6

What should I do?

Any clues?

Best Regards,

Answer 1

For the same purpose I successfully upgraded my hg in CentOS to 2.1.2 by downloading the correct rpm from here:

and installing it with yum...
