HG and 404: Not Found

Question

I'm trying to write PKGBUILD using mercurial and am getting a: 404: Not Found error when trying to download the repository.  I must be missing something obvious here but... phhht.  When I do:
hg clone http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/mojosetup
from the command line, no problems.  When I put this into the PKGBUILD, and doing 'makepkg -sf', I'm getting:
==> Determining latest hg revision...
abort: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Been a little bit but I seem to remember doing this on git pkgbuilds.  Here's the PKGBUILD:
# Maintainer: Gen2ly <[email protected]>
pkgname=mojosetup-hg
_pkgname=mojosetup
pkgver=1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Nextgen installer for Unix Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://icculus.org/mojosetup/"
license=('custom')
depends=('bzip2' 'libfetch' 'lua' 'zlib')
makedepends=('mercurial')
optdepends=('')
options=()
install=""
source=('')
md5sums=()
_hgroot="http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/mojosetup"
_hgrepo="mojosetup"
build() {
msg "Connecting to Mercurial server..."
if [ -d $_hgrepo ]; then
cd $_hgrepo
hg pull -u || return 1
msg2 "The local files have been updated"
else
hg clone $_hgroot $_hgrepo || return 1
msg2 "Mercurial checkout done"
fi
# Build
mv $_pkgname $_pkgname-$pkgver
cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname-$pkgver"
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
#-CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel
make || return 1
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
I'm guessing mercurial does versioning differently????  Any ideas?

Answer 1

I got the build process to start reliably by changing source=('') to source=(), correcting _hgroot and adding a couple of cd ${srcdir}'s:
_hgroot="http://hg.icculus.org/icculus"
_hgrepo="mojosetup"
build() {
cd ${srcdir}
# Build
cd ${srcdir}
Unfortunately, it bombed before completing:
