DebolazAre there any ways for multiple people to access repos on my machine through a single ssh account, but not let everyone have access to every repository?02:58
minghuaWhen I am in the commit log editor after running "bzr commit", "bzr diff" gives an error message about some locks and can't produce a diff.  Is this expected?  Is it possible to change this?  Should I report a bug?03:55
snodhi, one question, can't bzr handle umlauts in filenames?09:10
snodif have a bzr repo pushed to a sftp location and branched it via http and the umlaut is replace by two ##09:11
snodi created the repo on a linux machine with utf8 and branched it on a mac os box09:12
lifelessthe mac file system does unicode NFD normalisation09:12
lifelessbzr will preserve the umlaut happily - branch it onto e.g. a iso-8859-1 locale, or windows, or even utf16 and it should all work fine, but mac's give us grief09:13
snodah ok :) damn mac filesystem09:14
snodah i just found the unicode page on bazaar-vcs.org09:14
snodso it doesn't work right now?09:16
lifelesswell, it should preserve the filenam when you go back to unix IIRC, it will depend on what bzr st shows09:20
lifelessbut yeah, expect some glitches I think :(09:20
lifelessgotta run, ciao09:20
snodcu and thanks for the help09:22

ubotuNew bug: #186194 in bzr "option to follow symlinks" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18619417:35
scorpioxyHey guys, i have a problem with the launchpad plugin it seems. On the launchpad page, it says that i can push using the lp:~username.... string, but doing that bzr errors out with a "cannot lock" error because it redirects to an http location. Is this is a bzr thing or is the launchpad page wrong?17:56

iKsHey !18:45
iKsI'd like to know if it is possible to specify a port when you commit on bzr+ssh :)18:45
iKscause I'm behind a proxy and one of the only open port is 44318:46
iKsso I have to commit through that :D18:46
iKsI made my sshd listen on both port 443 and 22 but I need to specify it on the command line18:46
jelmerafaik bzr+ssh://host:port/ should work18:53
iKshum OK18:57
iKsthx18:57
Stavroshello19:09

schierbeckjelmer: do you have 2 minutes to talk about the viz?21:23
jelmer:-)21:23
jelmersure21:23
schierbecki'm thinking about adding in the About window again21:24
schierbecki think it's important that it's there21:25
schierbeckbut should Olive and the viz share the same window?21:25
schierbecki kind of consider them different applications, which happen to reuse some of the same widgets21:25
jelmeryeah, same here21:26
jelmerAdding an about dialog would be a good idea21:26
schierbeckthe thing is, i consider the viz to be part of the core bzr-gtk, while Olive is more peripheral to me21:28
schierbeckbut then again, i'm not an Olive user myself21:28
schierbecki think they should have different About dialogues21:28
jelmerI think there already is a bzr-gtk About dialog21:30
jelmerwe could just use that21:30
schierbeckokay21:32
schierbecki'll hook up the menu to it21:32
schierbeckjelmer: the current about dialog shows info on bazaar, not bzr-gtk21:39
jelmerit should be adapted then21:40
schierbeckdone21:44
schierbecki'll push it to lp, 30 sec21:44
schierbeckthis version also reads in COPYING instead of just displaying "GPL v2" in the license window21:45

schierbeckjelmer: do i need to send in a merge request? after all, we're the only two active devs atm21:50
fullermdOoh, people are touching viz?21:50
jelmerschierbeck: well, a patch to the list would be useful in any case21:51

schierbeckthe fields ought to be selectable21:55

fullermdSelectable is great; it's the autoselecting part that's...   well, kinda offensive.22:00
schierbeckfullermd: i know, i'm looking into having it not do it22:06
* fullermd nods.22:07
fullermdIt's not like it's a big thing.22:07
schierbeckit's puzzling me atm22:07
fullermdJust a rather irritating small thing.22:07
schierbeckyup22:07
schierbeckjelmer: at some point we need to talk about the Changes page22:08
schierbecki still think it's a good idea22:08
jelmerschierbeck: ok, will have a look at your merge request later today22:09
schierbeckthanks :)22:10
jelmerschierbeck: I still don't, for various reasons22:10
schierbeckfair enough, just as long as we can discuss it22:11
jelmerPerhaps we can come to a compromise or something22:12
schierbeckyup22:13
schierbecki'm thinking about perhaps getting rid of the Relations page, to cut down on complexity22:14
jelmerIt's not as much the complexity that I have problems with22:14
jelmerIt's the fact that it mixes metadata with contents in the same widget22:14
jelmera widget which is meant to be relatively small (sufficient to display that metadata)22:14
jelmerand doesn't allow diffing against multiple parents22:15
schierbeckthe current version does allow diffing against multiple parents22:15
schierbeckstill haven't implemented the file list22:15
schierbeckbut it's coming22:15
jelmerThe file list is going to take up a fair chunk of space22:16
jelmermore even than the metadata usually needs22:16
schierbecki'm thinking about using a toggle button to show and hide it22:16
jelmerI would rather just have an optional diff widget below the metadata22:16
schierbecki don't think it'll be a real issue22:17
schierbecki think another widget *would* add to the complexity22:17
jelmerIt's separate of the metadata22:17
jelmerThe size is really going to be an issue22:17
schierbeckwould still introduce more content on the ui at the same time22:17
schierbecki think we should try it out before deciding on that; i really get a lot of requests for this feature22:18
schierbeckbesides, in the viz, the revisionview widget is as wide as the diff window itself is22:19
jelmerI've tried your branch, and it really doesn't work well for large commits22:19
schierbeckyeah, it needs the file selector widget22:20
jelmeryes it would be as wide, but the metadata bit is supposed to be quite small22:20
jelmer(in height, that is)22:20
schierbeckthe user can freely change the height if it becomes necessary22:21
schierbecki just think it's important to show the diff in a relevant context22:21
schierbeckotherwise, changing parents would be confusing22:22
schierbeckand besides, it doesn't harm; the extra tab takes up minimal space22:22
schierbeckthe diff is only loaded when the page has focus22:22
schierbecki think we should include it in a release -- if it gets a bad reception, we'll take it out again.22:23
jelmerre22:38
jelmerschierbeck: how would showing the diff below not be in the relevant context?22:39
jelmerschierbeck: I think metadata and contents are conceptually different and should be displayed in a different area22:39
schierbeckit would, but i just don't see how adding another main widget to the window will help22:39
jelmerthat also makes it possible to view the revision metadata and contets at the same time22:39
schierbeckjelmer: i don't think our users think about it that way22:39
schierbecki just don't see the need22:40
schierbeckand if we needed to display both metadata *and* content, we *would* run in to size problems22:40
jelmerschierbeck: I doubt that, see giggle's layout for example22:42
schierbeckjelmer: i hate giggle's layout :)22:43
schierbeckway too crowded22:43
schierbeckwe should only display the absolutely necessary to the user22:43
jelmerWell, giggle has more than this22:43
schierbeckyup22:43
schierbecktoo much more22:43
jelmerschierbeck: Just putting everything in tabs is confusing as well imho22:43
schierbeckit's incremental complexity; the user chooses to see more22:44
jelmerWe could make the widget with the diff on the bottom of the screen detachable22:45
jelmerso you get the same effect you have now22:45
jelmerif you want to22:45
schierbecki think that would introduce a *lot* of complexity -- think the detachable menus in the GIMP22:46
schierbeckit's just confusing22:46
schierbeckbut if the users want it, sure22:46
jelmeryes, a lot of detachable things is confusing, but a couple doesn't hurt22:46
schierbecki think we should start out simple, and see how the user base reacts22:46
schierbeckif they want a detachable widget, we'll create one22:46
schierbeckbut we need to start somewhere22:47
jelmerok, so let's leave that out of the picture for now then22:47
schierbeckok22:47
jelmerin any case, the diff bit could be hideable22:48
schierbeckyup22:48
schierbeckbut i still think we should go for minimal intrusion22:49
jelmerThat's not an argument for using a tab though..22:49
jelmerwe could just make the bottom widget hidden by default and add a button to enable showing it22:50
schierbeckwell, it's the solution that adds the least complexity to the startup view22:50
ubotuNew bug: #186238 in bzr "TB when cloning an SVN trunk into repo in "subversion" format" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18623822:50
schierbecki'd like the advanced users to be able to have an inline diff view, but not to bother newbies22:51
jelmerschierbeck: if we hide the widget by default but add a toggle button to allow showing it, that's equilly intrusive as a tab22:51
schierbeckjelmer: but when it's shown, it takes up much more vertical space22:52
schierbeckmaking it hard to see the contents22:52
jelmerschierbeck: Yes, but you could resize it any way you want22:52
schierbeckperhaps we could add a toggle that switched between the two layouts22:52
schierbeckjelmer: still, treeview + revisionsview + diffview22:52
schierbeck"Show changes beneath revision info"22:53
schierbeckif it's on, the tab disappears, and the diff view is shown at the bottom22:53
schierbeck?22:53
schierbeckcompromise?22:54
jelmerschierbeck: Having more than one way to show it in this case doesn't make sense imho22:55
schierbeckwe'll, then we're in disagreement :)22:56
schierbecki like the tab approach the best, you the separate widget approach22:56
schierbeckwe really could use some more opinions22:56
jelmerConceptually the contents just aren't part of the metadata nor do they have the same size constraints22:57
schierbeckjelmer: i really don't think that's going to be an issue22:57
schierbeckin the context of the viz, it won't matter at all22:58
schierbeckand we can just disable it anywhere else22:58
jelmerfullmermd: ping23:00
brongerMy plan is to clone an SVN trunk as a local Bazaar branch.  This works, however, I cannot use it within a Bazaar repo.  Moreover, I cannot setup a Bazaar repo and clone a secondary branch of that SVN branch into this repo.  So, is it completely impossible to use shared repositories if subversion is involved?23:00
jelmerbronger: what error do you get?23:00
brongerIt complains that the formats don't fit together.23:00
jelmerbronger: see the FAQ, use bzr init-repo --rich-root-pack23:01

brongerDepending on what I do exactly.23:01
jelmerschierbeck: There's no reason for the other tabs to be that large though23:03
jelmerschierbeck: and it doesn't allow the metadata to be visible at the same time as the contents23:03
schierbeckjelmer: i don't think we really need to show the metadata at the same time, and having the widgets next to each other will take up an unreasonable amount of space23:04
schierbecki just don't think it'll fit23:04

* schierbeck waits :)23:06
