= Experimental Patches =
There are some experimental patches that are not yet ready to be included into Haiku's svn repository, but that need a larger base of testing. If you are a building your own Haiku build and you are used to live on the edge, then you might be interested in trying out these patches.

Currently the following patches are added:
 * The [http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/Stack-Tile-for-Haiku Stack & Tile] patch, originally by Hong Yul Yang, formely by Christof Lutteroth.

= Instructions: Checking out and Building =

Note that these instructions are meant for users that are already familiar with building Haiku. If you are not familiar with that, please follow [http://www.haiku-os.org/guides/ the instructions] and do a vanilla build first.

== Requirements ==

 * A configuration that can build Haiku (either on Linux, the BSDs or Haiku itself). 
 * [http://mercurial.selenic.com/ Mercurial]

== Configuration ==

Enable the `mq` extension by opening `~/.hgrc` and adding these lines:

{{{
