Re the 'abort: no repo...' msgs: they're likely seen for 'make' too,
and are of the form:
---
  abort: no repository found in '____________/netplug-1.2.9.2' (.hg not found)!
---


They arise from the Makefile lines:
==
hg_root := $(shell hg root)
	.
	.
tar_file := $(hg_root)/$(tar_root).tar.bz2
files := $(shell hg manifest)
	.
	.
==
Those lines are basically for the 'tarball' ('make a tarball') target.


I guess for clfs-embedded they could be ifdef'd or otherwise adjusted,
or simply commented-out.


Meantime, they can be just commented-out - e.g. :
========
#hg_root := $(shell hg root)
#tar_root := netplug-$(version)
#tar_file := $(hg_root)/$(tar_root).tar.bz2
#files := $(shell hg manifest)
#
#tarball: $(tar_file)
#
#$(tar_file): $(files)
#       mkdir -p $(hg_root)/$(tar_root)
#       echo $(files) | tr ' ' '\n' | \
#         xargs -i cp -a --parents {} $(hg_root)/$(tar_root)
#       tar -C $(hg_root) -c -f - $(tar_root) | bzip2 -9 > $(tar_file)
#       rm -rf $(hg_root)/$(tar_root)
========


Re 'the fact is that to me netplug doesn't seem to work': what _do_
you see; what commands are you issuing; and what messages &/or behaviour
are you getting.
