Packagers are encouraged to integrate as well as possible with the platforms existing PKI, for example by distributing a `hgrc.d/cacert.rc` with configuration of `web.cacerts`.

Packagers are encouraged to integrate as well as possible with the platforms existing PKI, for example by distributing a hgrc.d/cacert.rc with configuration of web.cacerts. If the platform doesn't have a suitable CA list you might want to distribute your own - for example the one from cURL/Mozilla. See CACertificates.
3. Make nightly builds available
Nightly builds help users give quick feedback on bugfixes. These should generally be made from the tip of the stable branch.
4. Stay in touch
Announcements of releases and code freezes are made on the Mercurial-packaging list.
