Playing with a web server after a very long time can be fun...
I set up lighttpd (aka 'lighty') to serve Mercurial and this blog.
Unfortunately, lighty 1.4.x cannot limit authentication just to PUT or POST requests -- 1.5 can. I tried building lighty 1.5 on OpenWrt which inevitably dished up some more OpenWrt tickets (#2247, #2224 ). On the other hand, I learnt quite a bit on the GNU libtool craziness (see http://www.metastatic.org/text/libtool.html)...

Mercurial is a distributed Source Control Management system written in Python.
OpenWrt ticket #2226 to commit the new Mercurial package is still pending but some preparatory bug fixes (#2225, #2248) have already been included.

Finally, I managed to set up my private blog. It's hosted on a slug device running OpenWrt.
