Installing Mercurial on Debian Lenny

Installing Mercurial on Debian Lenny

today I've installed Mercurial on Debian, but then realized it was the 1.0 version that is not compatible with new the repository format. I'm not sure which course of action to take, install Mercurial from source or from one of the three updated packages in lenny-backports, squeeze and sid. What would be the best way?

"You can easily add a sid repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file then update and install:

deb http://ftp.us.debiandotorg/debian sid main

or download the deb package and install with:

dpkg -i mercurial_1.3.1-1_i386.deb"
