| lifeless | jelmer: can you document what you need from the hook? I can likely do the bzr side trivially | 00:00 |

| lucasvo | hi | 00:10 |
| lucasvo | I'm having issues with bzr. It doesn't want to work if locales isn't set correctly... | 00:10 |
| lucasvo | see: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57277/ | 00:10 |
| lifeless | thats correct; you can set LANG=C etc if you have really broken locales on your machine | 00:10 |
| lifeless | but to get the correct i18n filename we need locale information | 00:11 |
| jelmer | shouldn't it be "locale en_US.UTF-8" rather than "locale enUS.UTF-8" ? | 00:11 |
| lucasvo | lifeless: I am using gnome terminal with an ssh session | 00:11 |
| lucasvo | if I set encoding to western in gnome terminal it works | 00:12 |
| lucasvo | I usually have it on utf-8 | 00:12 |
| lifeless | jelmer: yeah, I think so | 00:12 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: as long as its set to a valid locale bzr will work fine | 00:12 |
| lucasvo | so that is not a bug. | 00:12 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: we have to recreate the files you commit, with their names, on different operating systems | 00:13 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: some (mac os X) require unicode paths. | 00:13 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: so we have to know the actual unicode path of each file we read from disk | 00:13 |
| lucasvo | ok | 00:14 |
| LaserJock | would it be possible to get bzr-svn in the bzr LP PPA? | 00:14 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: and to do that we need to know if you are using 8859-{1,3,...} or utf8 or utf16 or utf7 or whatever | 00:14 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: it's already there | 00:14 |
| lifeless | lucasvo: so yes, it is a _requirement_ that your locale be set up accurately for bzr to work. if its complaining, you have a bug in your locale setup. | 00:15 |
| LaserJock | jelmer: you sure? I don't have it here | 00:15 |
| jelmer | a traceback shouldn't be necessary for this error though | 00:15 |
| LaserJock | jelmer: ah, I see the problem, there is a version in -backports that overrides the one in the PPA | 00:16 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: Yes, it's only in feistry, gutsy and hardy though | 00:16 |
| lifeless | jelmer: its being thrown from python's core | 00:16 |
| lifeless | jelmer: we could catch and pretty it up I guess | 00:17 |
| LaserJock | jelmer: gutsy-packports has 0.4.7-1~gutsy1 and the PPA has 0.4.6-1~bazaar1~gutsy1 | 00:17 |
| lucasvo | ok, well, I gotta move over to the ubuntu channel and try my luck there. Thanks for the help guys. | 00:17 |
| LaserJock | dang, even if you put in 0.4.7 it'd be a lower version than -backports :/ | 00:18 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: what exactly is so problematic about that? in the end, you have the latest version | 00:20 |
| jelmer | lifeless: yeah, that would make sen | 00:20 |
| jelmer | se | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | umm, because I either can't upgrade bzr or I have to remove bzr-svn | 00:20 |
| LaserJock | not sure why bzr-svn has such a tight dependency, but I'm assuming the maintainer knew what they were doing | 00:21 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: bzr-svn gets very easily broken by bzr API changes | 00:21 |
| LaserJock | fun | 00:21 |
| LaserJock | so right now I'm not updating bzr/bzr-tools so I don't remove bzr-svn | 00:21 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: ah, that bit is unrelated to the packaging | 00:22 |
| jelmer | I simply haven't released bzr-svn 0.4.8 compatible with bzr 1.2 yet | 00:22 |
| lifeless | tsk tsk | 00:22 |
| lifeless | :) | 00:22 |
| LaserJock | ah | 00:22 |
| * LaserJock tries to resist a "that's why git is nice" comment ;-) | 00:23 | |
| LaserJock | but instead I'll wait patiently | 00:23 |
| LaserJock | although, I'm using bzr-svn because it seems a lot better than git-svn | 00:29 |
| LaserJock | so I should just hold my tongue | 00:30 |
| jelmer | Sorry for not being quicker with this | 00:38 |
| jelmer | Although I don't see why it would be an immediate problem | 00:38 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: git-svn doesn't have the same level of integration that bzr-svn has so it doesn't use the same range of the API | 00:40 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: if we would make the dependencies of bzr-svn less tight bzr-svn would probably break every other upgrade of bzr | 00:41 |
| LaserJock | jelmer: right, I figured it must be something similar | 00:42 |
| LaserJock | I just wondered if it was a known thing as I've been unable to upgrade bzr for something like a week or so | 00:42 |
| LaserJock | but it seems that really gutsy-backports is more to blame | 00:42 |
| jelmer | LaserJock: why? | 00:43 |
| LaserJock | because -backports has 0.4.7 | 00:44 |
| LaserJock | I was thinking that the bzr PPA didn't have bzr-svn in it | 00:44 |
| jelmer | yes, but what's problematic about backports having 0.4.7? | 00:44 |
| lifeless | is 0.4.7 released ? | 00:44 |
| jelmer | yes | 00:45 |
| jelmer | 0.4.7 is compatible with bzr 1.1 | 00:45 |
| lifeless | LaserJock: actually I think aptitude is to blame; if bzr's ppa has a matching bzr-svn, aptitude should be able to resolve to install that over backports; unless you've got pinning set | 00:45 |
| jelmer | lifeless: ppa doesn't have a more recent version than backports | 00:45 |
| lifeless | jelmer: I know that | 00:45 |
| LaserJock | jelmer: it's just that it means I'm getting bzr from bzr PPA but not bzr-svn | 00:45 |
| lifeless | jelmer: I didn't say more recent; I said matching. | 00:46 |
| jelmer | lifeless: There is no matching bzr-svn for the latest bzr in PPA | 00:46 |
| lifeless | jelmer: there we go :) | 00:46 |
| lifeless | LaserJock: so its really just that bzr-svn has not recently this week yet | 00:46 |
| jelmer | lifeless: Right, but I fail to see how LaserJock is blaming that on backports rather than on me :-) | 00:47 |
| LaserJock | well, I'm just saying it's nice to get the whole set from the same repo | 00:47 |
| LaserJock | rather than bits from one and bits from another | 00:47 |
| LaserJock | but of course, in this case, I guess I'd be in the same situation even if I didn't have -backports | 00:48 |
| jelmer | the version of bzr-svn in backports is newer | 00:51 |
| jelmer | ~bzr comes after ~backports | 00:51 |
| jelmer | hmm, no that's not right.. | 00:52 |
| * jelmer gets some sleep before he says more stupid things | 00:52 | |
| LaserJock | -backports uses ~gutsy | 00:52 |
| LaserJock | wasn't stupid | 00:52 |
| LaserJock | versioning sucks ;-) | 00:52 |

| mrflip | Hello, I am just moving over to bzr. Here is my question. I'm working on a website, and the project is the main dir site/ with subdirectories srcassets/ (original copies of graphics, etc), meta/ (design notes), utils/ (tools), web/ (the actual site). | 10:36 |
| mrflip | When I deploy, I want to only push site/web/ to the server, which was easy with svn | 10:36 |
| mrflip | how do I do this with bzr? | 10:36 |
| bob2 | bzr split would let you split that dir into it's own branch | 10:40 |
| bob2 | or you could just not import the others into bzr | 10:40 |
| bob2 | but bzr doesn't generally work like svn, where each dir is a nested checkout | 10:40 |
| mrflip | (reading about bzr split now)... I definitely need all of those dirs versioned... and I need to have (somehow or another) site/* on my dev machine and only web/ on the server. | 10:43 |
| mrflip | so I think I have to move web/ into its own repos, which I can live with... it's tiny compared to srcassets, which I can't afford to pull each time I deploy. | 10:57 |
| mrflip | Thanks for the help bob2 | 10:57 |
| bob2 | doesn't have to be it's own repository, just branch | 10:58 |

| === adwi2 is now known as awilkins | ||
| jelmer | awilkins: Yes | 14:04 |
| jelmer | it wouldn't create a copy of the original svn branch in the other svn repository though | 14:04 |
| jelmer | at least, it won't look like a copy to svn | 14:05 |
| jelmer | it will look like one to bzr | 14:05 |
| awilkins | jelmer: What I essentially want is what SVK does but using bzr, I suppose | 14:05 |
| awilkins | I have an Eclipse ticket plugin that syncs to SVN | 14:06 |
| awilkins | But I'm rapidly leaning toward BZR for the other version control aspects of this project because the branch / merge requirements are rigourous and I'm probably going to end up re-inventing merge tracking if I stick to SVN | 14:06 |
| awilkins | Alas, the ticket plugin is closed-source (what a dumbass I was to recommend that one...)_ | 14:07 |
| awilkins | And doesn't use the geenric Eclipse team sync, as far as I can tell. | 14:07 |
| awilkins | Ah, I shall just have to experiment. | 14:08 |
| awilkins | I shall be using BZR for dev and testing just because it's so much faster than SVN :-) | 14:08 |

| xif | is branching and merging with Bazaar less of a headache than it is with Subversion? | 14:49 |
| edreamleo | Hello All, this is Edward Ream from the Leo editor | 14:50 |
| Peng | xif: Yes. | 14:51 |
| Peng | xif: Any modern VCS, including bzr, tracks which revisions have already been merged. | 14:52 |
| Peng | xif: Of course, that makes cherrypicking a pain in most of them... | 14:52 |
| edreamleo | Is this the place to ask total newbie questions? | 14:53 |
| jdong | edreamleo: any bzr related question :) | 14:53 |
| Peng | edreamleo: Sure. | 14:53 |
| jdong | or any question you'd want a bzr related answer to :D | 14:53 |
| edreamleo | ;-) | 14:53 |
| edreamleo | First, let me say I'm excited about moving Leo to bzr. | 14:53 |
| edreamleo | It will enable much closer cooperation between Leo and IPython. | 14:54 |
| edreamleo | I have been able to get bzr working on XP... | 14:54 |
| edreamleo | But am having trouble connecting on Linux | 14:54 |
| xif | Peng: if I plan to do lots of branching and merging, would you recommend Bazaar or anything else? | 14:54 |
| edreamleo | I suspect the problem is easily fixed, but I have no idea how to fix it. | 14:55 |
| jdong | xif: I'd definitely recommend some distributed VCS with a 3-way merge algorithm. bzr's defnitely nice for it but it's not the only one | 14:55 |
| jdong | edreamleo: can you describe more what kind of trouble you're having when connecting? | 14:55 |
| edreamleo | Sure. | 14:55 |
| Peng | xif: Sure, I'd recommend bzr or anything else that's not cvs or svn. :P | 14:56 |
| edreamleo | I have pull defined as a bzr alias. One moment while I look it up... | 14:56 |
| xif | jdong: yeah, I'm still contemplating whether I want hg, darcs, or bzr | 14:56 |
| jdong | xif: well I think between those 3, the answer all of us in #bzr will give you is obvious ;-) | 14:57 |
| xif | from what I've seen, hg has better performance, bzr has more features | 14:57 |
| jdong | xif: I don't think that's entirely true anymore | 14:57 |
| xif | ("seen" = "read in online reviews" :-) | 14:57 |
| jdong | xif: recent versions of bzr come quite close in performance, storage size, etc | 14:57 |
| jdong | xif: it is true that older versions of bzr have horrendous performance compared to hg | 14:57 |
| xif | right, before you rewrote some of the Python modules in Pyrex | 14:58 |
| xif | yeah, I think I'll check bzr out first | 14:58 |
| Peng | And made other improvements. | 14:58 |
| xif | Peng: such as? | 14:58 |
| jdong | xif: and changed on-disk storage format, etc | 14:58 |
| xif | oh, right. | 14:58 |
| Peng | xif: General improvement of the code? | 14:58 |
| xif | now your storage format is git-like I hear. | 14:58 |
| Peng | Sorta, yeah. | 14:58 |
| jdong | xif: there's far too many performance tweaks for us to list one by one short of reproducing the changelogs | 14:59 |
| Peng | For me, it's really a toss-up between bzr and hg, but I haven't used anything else (other than svn). | 14:59 |
| xif | not sure how darcs fits in the comparison, doesn't look like it can compete with hg or bzr on either performance or features. | 14:59 |
| jdong | yeah, my unbiased toss-up would be between bzr, hg, and git | 15:00 |
| Peng | I haven't looked into git much. | 15:00 |
| xif | Peng: aren't there features you miss on hg vs. bzr or vice-versa? | 15:00 |
| edreamleo | Ooops. pull is not an alias | 15:00 |
| Peng | xif: Yeah. | 15:00 |
| jdong | xif: bzr's vast array of plugins... seems like there's more of them than for hg | 15:00 |
| xif | I prefer hg and bzr (or even darcs) because Python and Haskell are nice languages. | 15:00 |
| jdong | xif: also, hg is horrible without its smart server IMO | 15:01 |
| jdong | xif: which is a problem if you don't have the access to install hg on the remote system | 15:01 |
| Peng | Indeed. | 15:01 |
| jdong | bzr's non-smart-server performance is quite good with packs | 15:01 |
| xif | jdong: so if I want to stay lightweight (e.g. using the VCS to manage my own project) bzr might be a better choice? | 15:02 |
| Peng | And even if the performance was poorer, at least it supports dumb servers fully. | 15:02 |
| edreamleo | Ok, now I remember, I did a bzr co, not a bzr pull | 15:02 |
| Peng | (Well, it is poor*er*, just not that much worse.) | 15:02 |
| edreamleo | co *is* an alias | 15:02 |
| Peng | If I was smarter, I'd work on SFTP support for hg... | 15:02 |
| jdong | xif: I'd believe so. | 15:02 |
| jdong | Peng: last time I tried dumb HTTP, it didn't work well either | 15:03 |
| xif | OK, thanks. | 15:03 |
| jdong | Peng: and the response I got upstream was "well it's outdated, set up a CGI" | 15:03 |
| Peng | jdong: Heh. | 15:03 |
| Peng | jdong: I didn't know it was outdated. | 15:03 |
| Peng | jdong: I don't know how good it is now. | 15:03 |
| Peng | jdong: I've always had the impression that it doesn't get quite enough love, but I don't know whether it's still good enough. | 15:04 |
| jdong | Peng: well apparently thy are considering oldhttp to be obsolete | 15:04 |
| edreamleo | co is defined as co=checkout bzr+ssh://edreamleo@bazaar.launchpad/~edreamleo/leo-editor/main | 15:04 |
| edreamleo | now when I do a bzr co I get a Python traceback | 15:04 |
| LeoNerd | Who keeps highlighting me? :P | 15:04 |
| jdong | Peng: but I was surprised that they do not support SFTP | 15:04 |
| Peng | edreamleo: "co" is a builtin alias. | 15:05 |
| edreamleo | Oh! | 15:05 |
| Peng | edreamleo: (for "checkout") | 15:05 |
| Peng | jdong: I asked once, and mpm mentioned that he wouldn't want to add a dependency on Paramiko or whatever. | 15:05 |
| edreamleo | Right, that's what I was trying to do :-) | 15:05 |
| edreamleo | Trust a newbie to find the ways to crash a program. | 15:06 |
| Peng | :) | 15:06 |
| edreamleo | Ok, let me pick another name for co and see what happens... | 15:06 |
| Peng | edreamleo: Are you using bzr 1.2? If not, upgrade; if so, file a bug. | 15:06 |
| Peng | edreamleo: You shouldn't need to co the same branch so often that you need an alias for it... | 15:06 |
| jdong | edreamleo: also, why is the alias necessary? Do you really checkout that branch enough times that you don't want to type it out? | 15:07 |
| jdong | Peng: we're trampling over each other :D | 15:07 |
| edreamleo | I'm using bzr 0.90.0 | 15:07 |
| jdong | edreamleo: I highly recommend upgrading to the latest | 15:08 |
| edreamleo | Iirc I used apt-get (or maybe the synaptic package manage) to get the latest version | 15:08 |
| jdong | edreamleo: what distribution? | 15:08 |
| edreamleo | Ubuntu, Gutsy Gibbon | 15:08 |
| jdong | edreamleo: you can either (1) enable backports, or (2) use the bzr PPA | 15:09 |
| jdong | although I'm the maintainer of backports, I recommend #2 | 15:09 |
| edreamleo | What's the bzr PPA? | 15:09 |
| jdong | I've got hundreds of requests for updates and I can't keep backports as up to date as fast as the bzr PPA | 15:09 |
| Peng | edreamleo: Bzr's official apt repo thingamabob. https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive | 15:09 |
| jdong | edreamleo: it's an APT repository maintained by the bzr developers | 15:09 |
| Peng | (Though they do have a habit of screwing up bzrtools's dependencies... :P ) | 15:10 |
| jdong | edreamleo: it contains the latest bzr packages, plus minus a few days ;-) | 15:10 |
| jdong | Peng: hehe well I'm guilty of doing the same | 15:10 |
| Peng | I'm hungry. | 15:10 |
| jdong | backports is currently on bzr 1.1, though I do intend on updating to bzr 1.2 once Hardy's entire stack is ready | 15:10 |
| jdong | but backports gives you other cool new packages too ;-) | 15:11 |
| edreamleo | Ok, I see bzr-1.2.-1~bazaar2~gutsy1 at the url you gave. | 15:12 |
| edreamleo | Are there installation instructions? | 15:12 |
| jdong | edreamleo: the page should have such instructions | 15:12 |
| jdong | edreamleo: pick Gutsy from the dropdown.... | 15:13 |
| jdong | edreamleo: add the "deb" line to Software Sources Manager in system->admin | 15:13 |
| jdong | the deb-src line is optional | 15:13 |
| edreamleo | I did system->admin->software soucrces... | 15:17 |
| edreamleo | Now I see a dialog, with 5 tabs... | 15:18 |
| edreamleo | What's the "deb" line? | 15:18 |
| jdong | elmo: click Third Party Software, then Add | 15:18 |
| jdong | grr wrong person | 15:19 |
| jdong | he doesn't need to know how to add sources lines... :) | 15:19 |
| edreamleo | Heh, heh, | 15:19 |
| jdong | in the dialog that pops up, type deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ubuntu gutsy main | 15:19 |
| edreamleo | djong: ok, that seemed to work. | 15:22 |
| edreamleo | Do I do an apt-get now? If so, what would I do exactly? | 15:22 |
| edreamleo | Never mind, the latest version now shows up in the package manager. Doing an update now. | 15:24 |
| jdong | edreamleo: you can pop up update manager or synaptic, check and apply for new updates | 15:24 |
| edreamleo | Ok, we have progress... | 15:29 |
| edreamleo | Now we have bzr 1.2.0 | 15:29 |
| edreamleo | And now bzr co (still with the confusing co alias) doesn't crash, it says... | 15:30 |
| jdong | edreamleo: run bzr reconcile and bzr upgrade on your existing branches to bring them to the new faster packs format | 15:30 |
| edreamleo | ssh: connect to host bazaar.launchpad prt 22: connection refused | 15:30 |
| edreamleo | Ok. bzr reconcile and bzr upgrade made what seem like happy sounds. | 15:31 |
| jdong | edreamleo: bazaar.launchpad.net | 15:32 |
| jdong | unless you're one of those lucky people on the .net domain :D | 15:32 |
| edreamle1 | Drat: something weird happened to gaim. | 15:34 |
| edreamle1 | gdong: I'll check the url and change the co alias to something else... | 15:36 |
| jdong | edreamleo: yeah the URL is the only problem I see | 15:36 |
| Peng | Also, again, why are you checking out the same thing so often that you need an alias? | 15:41 |
| dato | Peng: bzr provides the alias | 15:42 |
| edreamle1 | Peng: my memory isn't the best, so I like to leave bread crumbs around wherever possible. | 15:43 |
| edreamle1 | Success: the bad url was the problem | 15:43 |
| jdong | edreamleo: you'd probably want to alias your branch location as a branch | 15:43 |
| jdong | rather than alias the entire co command to one branch | 15:43 |
| edreamle1 | Btw, bzr co worked just fine, even with co as an alias | 15:43 |
| jdong | edreamleo: after the initial checkout, you never have to type the branch URL again | 15:43 |
| jdong | just "bzr up, bzr commit, bzr log" all work inside the branch | 15:43 |
| jdong | so I don't see the point of making the co=checkout branch alias. | 15:44 |
| edreamle1 | jdong: you must be right :-) | 15:44 |
| edreamle1 | jdong: but what if I wanted to check out another sandbox? Wouldn't I need to know the url? | 15:45 |
| Peng | Is it possbile to checkout or branch a checkout? | 15:46 |
| jdong | Peng: yes | 15:47 |
| jdong | edreamle1: indeed, but you can branch from your existing checkout | 15:47 |
| jdong | edreamle1: or type "bzr info" inside the branch to figure out what URL it was from | 15:47 |
| edreamle1 | jdong: Thanks for these tips. | 15:47 |
| edreamle1 | Clearly, I don't understand bzr branches yet... | 15:47 |
| edreamle1 | Anyway, many thanks for your help. I'm unstuck. | 15:49 |

| Odd_Bloke | Does anyone know anything about http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/89117 ? | 18:00 |
| Peng | Odd_Bloke: No. It's been confirmed as true, but there's still no information. | 18:02 |
| Peng | Odd_Bloke: Ask Mark Shuttleworth or poolie? | 18:03 |
| * Peng shrugs. | 18:03 | |
| Peng | Ok. | 18:03 |
| Odd_Bloke | OK, it's the confirmation that I was looking for. | 18:03 |
| Odd_Bloke | Peng: Thanks. :) | 18:04 |
| Peng | The confirmation isn't very useful when I have no idea what it *means*. | 18:04 |
| Peng | RMS is replacing poolie as lead developer? Mark Shuttleworth paid them $10,000 to get "GNU" stamped on bzr? | 18:05 |
| Peng | Of course, I could do research and see what exactly it usually means, but I'm busy reading about Star Trek. | 18:05 |
| abentley | Peng: It means nothing in terms of personnel. It means that GNU will endorse bzr, use it for their own projects, and update Savannah to support it. | 18:06 |
| Toksyuryel | awesome! | 18:07 |
| Peng | Right. It's just marketing. | 18:07 |
| Peng | I forgot. | 18:07 |
| abentley | It does mean that there are certain rules we must follow. I forget the details at the moment. | 18:07 |
| Toksyuryel | yay bzr ^_^ | 18:07 |
| Peng | You said that earlier. :P | 18:07 |
| Toksyuryel | What does it mean with regards to launchpad? | 18:08 |
| abentley | Well, if you're gonna get snotty, I don't have to say anything... | 18:08 |
| johnny | Toksyuryel, nothing afaics | 18:08 |
| Odd_Bloke | The list of things that have to be complied with is at http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/ | 18:09 |
| Peng | I'm only being a tiny bit snotty. | 18:09 |
| Peng | And that's non-sarcastic. | 18:09 |
| Peng | I completely forgot that you explained it earlier. | 18:09 |
| Peng | Odd_Bloke: Yikes, 100K of ASCII? | 18:10 |
| diocles | Odd_Bloke: There's also the GNU Coding Standards, and maybe a few other documents. | 18:10 |
| Toksyuryel | it's not really fair to call it "just marketing", I think that bzr being endorsed by GNU is a pretty damn big deal | 18:11 |
| * Toksyuryel thinks that it shows just how good bzr is, that they would choose it over other things out there :) it also grants a lot of additional credibility to the project | 18:13 | |
| diocles | Peng: http://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html#whatmeans would seem to answer your questions, but I realise Star Trek is important. | 18:13 |
| Toksyuryel | Stargate is better~ *hides* | 18:15 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: What about Firefly? | 18:15 |
| johnny | they're all dumb :) | 18:15 |
| abentley | I'm not aware of any direct effects on Launchpad, though it does turn Savannah into a Launchpad competitor. | 18:15 |
| johnny | that should solve it.. | 18:15 |
| johnny | barely.. | 18:15 |
| johnny | a very very poor one | 18:15 |
| Toksyuryel | I never watched firefly, I heard good things about it though | 18:15 |
| Toksyuryel | abentley: my concern is more related to the issue of the fact it's not a free/open project (yet) | 18:16 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: Same here. I'm afraid that whenever I do finally watch it, it won't live up to my expectations thanks to the hype. :\ | 18:16 |
| johnny | Toksyuryel, has no effect on bzr | 18:16 |
| Peng | diocles: Thanks. I have 550 tabs open! | 18:16 |
| Toksyuryel | mmkay | 18:17 |
| johnny | launchpad is the only reason i'm considering using bzr seriously | 18:17 |
| johnny | which is upsetting, since it's not free | 18:17 |
| Toksyuryel | there's a lot of great things about bzr completely unrelated to launchpad... | 18:17 |
| johnny | like? | 18:17 |
| diocles | johnny: What are you comparing bzr with? | 18:18 |
| * Toksyuryel personally considers it to be the best vcs of them all, period ^_^ | 18:18 | |
| Peng | The GNU documents mentions using an @gnu.org address for bugs, and hosting on gnu.org. What is bzr going to do? | 18:18 |
| johnny | i mean above and beyond git,mtn,hg | 18:18 |
| johnny | Peng, the docs mention that | 18:18 |
| johnny | there's notice you put on there | 18:18 |
| Toksyuryel | bzr is way way better than git and hg. not sure what mtn is but bzr is probably better than that too :) | 18:19 |
| johnny | how so? | 18:19 |
| johnny | how is it better than git or hg? | 18:19 |
| johnny | other than being much easier to use than git :) | 18:19 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: Monotone. | 18:19 |
| johnny | hg is not really in my consideration tho | 18:19 |
| Toksyuryel | there are documents on the website that do a way better job explaining than I ever could | 18:19 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: Kinda inspired git and hg, but not very popular. Slow. | 18:19 |
| johnny | i've read them Toksyuryel | 18:19 |
| Toksyuryel | eww, ok, bzr is definitely better than that XD | 18:19 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: Gaim/Pidgin used it, last I checked. | 18:20 |
| johnny | and i wasn't convinced | 18:20 |
| Toksyuryel | well I was | 18:20 |
| Peng | johnny: Why not hg? | 18:20 |
| johnny | bzr has launchpad, hg doesn't bzr has the potential to be tested across 1000s of projects | 18:20 |
| * Toksyuryel is even considering using it to version his entire system, but thinks he may need a bigger hard drive for that | 18:20 | |
| johnny | hg has a few, and moz.. | 18:20 |
| johnny | but bzr will always have the edge due to launchpad | 18:21 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: Don't do that. | 18:21 |
| johnny | since it mirrors everything in bzr | 18:21 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: I do; it sucks. | 18:21 |
| johnny | Toksyuryel, bzr doesn't handle privs | 18:21 |
| johnny | at least not last i heard.. | 18:21 |
| Toksyuryel | ohh | 18:21 |
| Toksyuryel | yeah that could be tricky... | 18:21 |
| Peng | Oh, that's true. | 18:21 |
| johnny | you need seperate sfotware | 18:22 |
| diocles | johnny: The other advantage over git might be Windows support. But that never bothered me. | 18:22 |
| james_w | johnny: there will hopefully be a plugin to handle that at some point. | 18:22 |
| Peng | None of the popular VCSes handle more than the exec bit. | 18:22 |
| johnny | yes | 18:22 |
| Peng | I don't version my whole system, just my homedir. | 18:22 |
| johnny | Pe is correct | 18:22 |
| Peng | And I'm reducing that today. | 18:22 |
| james_w | for now you can check out etckeeper, which there is a bzr plugin for. | 18:22 |
| johnny | err Peng is correct | 18:22 |
| * Toksyuryel has never considered windows support to be a feature, rather finds it to distract people from the features that matter | 18:22 | |
| johnny | i'm concerned about windows support | 18:23 |
| johnny | but git is mostly used by the hardc0re | 18:23 |
| johnny | and the speedsfreaks | 18:23 |
| Peng | Toksyuryel: (Especially since Windows support is a rough spot in both bzr and hg; at least case-insensitive file system stuff. Cough.) | 18:23 |
| diocles | I use git. | 18:23 |
| Toksyuryel | don't the benchmarks say bzr is faster than git? | 18:23 |
| johnny | no | 18:23 |
| johnny | try mirring the kernel and proving it | 18:23 |
| johnny | with full changes | 18:23 |
| Toksyuryel | dependant on the size of the project of course; they are working on that part :) | 18:23 |
| johnny | or moz for that matter | 18:23 |
| * diocles tries to work out whether he's "hardc0re" or a "speedsfreak". | 18:24 | |
| johnny | Toksyuryel, i know what they are working on :) | 18:24 |
| johnny | i really really like in mtn how revisions are not dependent on a branch | 18:24 |
| johnny | a branch is just a cert on a revision | 18:24 |
| Toksyuryel | Peng: I find windows support to be a waste of time and resources that could better be spent improving the software =/ | 18:24 |
| johnny | Toksyuryel, you're wrong | 18:24 |
| johnny | more devs come because of windows | 18:24 |
| johnny | and even more users come | 18:25 |
| Toksyuryel | they should switch to a real OS =/ | 18:25 |
| johnny | and that is? | 18:25 |
| johnny | does it run autocad? or photoshop? :) | 18:25 |
| johnny | this is sad for me to have to say this :( | 18:25 |
| johnny | but it's true | 18:25 |
| Toksyuryel | that's not the fault of the OS | 18:25 |
| johnny | sure, but the OS doesn't mean much if it can't run apps | 18:26 |
| Toksyuryel | and photoshop is easily replaced besides | 18:26 |
| johnny | no it isn't | 18:26 |
| jdong | Toksyuryel: no it's not... | 18:26 |
| johnny | google is spending alot of money on wine support now tho | 18:26 |
| Toksyuryel | GIMP, inkscape, probably some other stuff out there too | 18:26 |
| johnny | nope | 18:26 |
| johnny | they are all weak | 18:26 |
| jdong | Toksyuryel: you've got to be kidding | 18:26 |
| Odd_Bloke | Guys, arguing about why people should switch from Windows in #bzr is kinda OT... | 18:26 |
| * Toksyuryel stops then | 18:26 | |
| jdong | Toksyuryel: that's like saying gwbasic roughly replaces C | 18:26 |
| jdong | but at any rate, if you don't care about Windows, then windows support is not something to look at in your VCS of choice :) | 18:27 |
| johnny | i've used linux only on the desktop for 5 years now Toksyuryel .. and even i can't say those apps have proper replacements :) | 18:27 |
| jdong | likewise. I've used Linux for a few years and developed on it for a few less than that | 18:28 |
| jdong | I can say FOR ME I've found Linux replacements | 18:28 |
| jdong | but I can't say for every application there is a Linux replacement | 18:29 |
| diocles | Tut, tut, it's GNU/Linux. Don't you know bzr is a GNU project now? | 18:29 |
| jdong | that's completely nonsense | 18:29 |
| jdong | diocles: no it's not, I use a BSD userland ;-) | 18:29 |
| Peng | Who needs Photoshop; I can write JPEG by hand. With a magnet, up hill in the snow all three ways. | 18:29 |
| johnny | lol | 18:29 |
| diocles | jdong: I bet you don't. :) | 18:29 |
| jdong | diocles: how do you know? :) | 18:29 |
| johnny | it is possible tho | 18:29 |
| johnny | or the opposite .. | 18:30 |
| diocles | jdong: Because Ubuntu doesn't have a BSD port. | 18:30 |
| jdong | diocles: and that's where you start assuming :) | 18:30 |
| jdong | but ANYWAY, still OT :) | 18:31 |
| johnny | unless bzr won't run on that combination.. :) | 18:31 |
| jdong | johnny: A few of us here have independently got bzr running on IronPython | 18:31 |
| Toksyuryel | bzr ought to run on any POSIX-compliant system... I think | 18:31 |
| jdong | Toksyuryel: more than that :) | 18:32 |
| * jdong feels sorry for all the bzr devs who will be reading this scrollback | 18:32 | |
| johnny | jdong, but then the boycottnovell guys will come after you ! | 18:33 |
| johnny | lol | 18:33 |
| abentley | johnny: Bzr handles only the execute bit, not other privs. | 18:34 |
| johnny | abentley, i know :) | 18:34 |
| abentley | Oh, I thought you didn't because of how you phrased it. | 18:34 |
| johnny | supporting windows is difficult for sure :( | 18:35 |
| Toksyuryel | hmmm... The requested URL /bzr.1.2/en/release-notes/NEWS.html was not found on this server. | 18:35 |
| abentley | johnny: In most DVCses, branches link to revisions, and the revisions themselves are not tied to any particular branch. | 18:37 |
| johnny | maybe it's not as exposed in bzr in the docs then | 18:38 |
| johnny | i read over the user guide , and that other one | 18:38 |
| james_w | Toksyuryel: there is a missing symlink, someone reported it to the list already, but it doesn't seem to have been added yet | 18:40 |
| Toksyuryel | ok | 18:40 |
| Vadi | I'm trying to 'push' a branch online, but I get an 'Not a branch:' error. Is there some specific setup I need to have on my local folder or something? | 19:07 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vadi: What cmmand are you running? | 19:08 |
| Vadi | "bzr push bzr+ssh://vperetokin@bazaar.launchpad.net/~vperetokin/vadi-mapper/main" | 19:09 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vadi: That suggests that you're not in the branch when running the command. | 19:10 |
| Vadi | Ahah. Now what exactly does that mean? I'm in a folder on my laptop, that I want to upload the contents of on the branch (new to this) | 19:10 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vadi: OK, you'll need to use 'bzr init' to create an initially empty branch. | 19:12 |
| Odd_Bloke | Then you'll want to use 'bzr add' to add all of the files in the directory to the branch. | 19:12 |
| Odd_Bloke | s/branch/working tree/ | 19:12 |
| Odd_Bloke | Then you'll want to commit the changes in your working tree (i.e. everything) to a revision of the branch, using 'bzr commit -m "Initial import."' | 19:13 |
| Odd_Bloke | The part in "s is the commit message, which will show up in the log of the branch. | 19:14 |
| Vadi | Where do I specify the branch I want to commit to? | 19:16 |
| Vadi | I got the bzr init'd and add'd | 19:16 |

| LaserJock | mwhudson: awesome, thanks | 21:22 |
| lifeless | blueyed: revert just puts them back the way they were | 21:22 |
| lifeless | you undo an action, and revert to a state | 21:22 |
| blueyed | lifeless: the way they were? e.g. /etc/rc?.d/ wasn't empty before "add". but it's after "revert". | 21:23 |
| blueyed | I just did "bzr init; bzr add;", thought "well, add some ignores first", so "bzr revert" and oooops.. | 21:23 |
| blueyed | lifeless: there's no "good" undo, is there? | 21:24 |
| lifeless | blueyed: no we don't have an undo, I'm not aware of a vcs that has one - its actually quite unwieldy. Anyhow, that said - I think its a bug that we didn't make backup files called .~1~ of each symlink | 21:26 |
| lifeless | blueyed: (unless we did ?) | 21:26 |
| blueyed | lifeless: no.. also not for empty directories like ".common/vim/.svn/props/" | 21:27 |
| blueyed | so, where's my backup of "/etc"? :/ | 21:27 |
| dato | lifeless: uh, if `bzr add regularfile; bzr revert` does not remove/rename regularfile, why would it not behave the same for symlinks? | 21:28 |

| shagbag | and it's taking a LONG time to 'transfer' | 21:31 |
| Vad1 | abentley: I'm still having that error with bzr. Do you know if there's a .deb of the 1.2 version? I'm running 0.9 right now. | 21:32 |
| abentley | Yes, there is. Did you see the link I posted? | 21:33 |
| Vad1 | No, but it somehow was opened in firefox already. I was wondering if I was dilusional | 21:33 |
| Vad1 | Whew. | 21:33 |
| Vad1 | (how did you do that though?) | 21:34 |
| dato | abentley: so how does one undo an add before commit? rm? | 21:36 |
| Vad1 | A bit better this time, but still not quite there: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57373/ | 21:36 |
| abentley | dato: Yes. | 21:36 |
| lifeless | blueyed: there isn't one, because revert was doing what it is designed to do. That said, I think we can provide more of a safety net | 21:37 |
| abentley | Although, I call it "remove", because it's not the same thing as rm. | 21:37 |
| blueyed | abentley: and how would you undo an "add"? | 21:37 |
| lifeless | abentley: we can define merge-hashes for links and dirs too | 21:37 |
| abentley | blueyed: see above. | 21:37 |
| lifeless | shagbag: its in knit format, knit format is slow. | 21:37 |
| abentley | lifeless: Not for dirs. | 21:37 |
| Vad1 | I did paste the public ssh key in my ubuntu profile. Not sure what can be wrong - but then again, I couldn't find clear instructions on how to do all of this either. | 21:37 |
| lifeless | blueyed: 'bzr rm --keep --new' | 21:38 |
| blueyed | ah.. I see.. | 21:38 |
| lifeless | abentley: yes, we can - sha1('\x00'.join(sort(child.name for child in dir._children))) | 21:38 |
| blueyed | but I expect "rm" to be more bad to my data than "revert".. | 21:39 |
| ryanakca | Is it possible to commit in someone's name (other than going sudo -u jsmith bzr commit -m "ponies") ? | 21:39 |
| abentley | blueyed: So call it "remove" instead. both work. | 21:39 |
| lifeless | ryanakca: sure, long as they are not expecting gpg signed commits ;) | 21:39 |
| lifeless | ryanakca: also see --author IIRC | 21:39 |
| blueyed | for me, the previous state is "unknown" for those symlinks, empty dirs (and files) in general. | 21:40 |
| ryanakca | lifeless: okies, thanks :) | 21:40 |
| lifeless | yes, --author | 21:40 |
| lifeless | to commit | 21:40 |
| abentley | lifeless: I don't think that's a clear indicator of whether the directory was automatically created. | 21:40 |
| lifeless | abentley: merge-hashes records the hash value of a file that we write to disk, IIRC ? | 21:41 |
| lifeless | abentley: so if we create a directory with 'foo' 'bar' and 'baz', we can look at disk and see that it actually has 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz.pyc' and conclude that its been altered since. | 21:42 |
| abentley | Technically, yes. But the connotation is that the content was generated automatically, not subject to user info. For example, even though shelf rewrites files, it doesn't update merge-hashes. | 21:43 |
| blueyed | lifeless: so it's at least a bug that there are no ~1~ files, yes? | 21:43 |
| lifeless | blueyed: I think its arguable that that is the case. | 21:44 |
| lifeless | abentley: got you | 21:44 |
| Vad1 | What does a "Permission denied (publickey)." in bazaar mean? It | 21:45 |
| Vad1 | It's not exactly unique, so google doesn't help | 21:45 |
| lifeless | Vad1: thats being reported by ssh, not bzr | 21:46 |
| TFKyle | Vad1: if it's while pushing/pulling to sftp it's likely that the other end requires ssh public key authentication and bzr/your ssh client didn't provide any (or you didn't get your passphrase right possibly) | 21:46 |
| shagbag | lifeless: thanks. the command worked tonight (unlike last night). I'm trying the | 21:46 |
| shagbag | lifeless: thanks, it's downloaded (unlike last night) and compiling now. | 21:47 |
| Vad1 | TFKyle: Okay, how can I do it without the keys? | 21:47 |
| Vad1 | TFKyle: I can't find clear instructions that work anywhere for uploading. The ones I'm going by right now are here (http://ddaa.net/blog/launchpad/bzr-hosting) | 21:47 |
| lifeless | shagbag: contact the branch owner and get them to upgrade with bzr 1.0 or newer | 21:48 |
| TFKyle | Vad1: you'd have to configure the server to accept things other than public keys, with openssh have a look at /etc/ssh/ssshd_config | 21:48 |
| lifeless | shagbag: it will massively improve performance | 21:48 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vad1: If you're trying to upload to Lauchpad, you need to have an SSH key set up. | 21:48 |
| TFKyle | but yeah, with lp you need a public key | 21:49 |
| Vad1 | Okay, I do have one in my profile in launchpad | 21:49 |
| Vad1 | Do I need one on my laptop too or? | 21:49 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vad1: When you create a public key, it generates a private key and a public key. You should have uploaded the public key. | 21:49 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vad1: If you haven't created one on your laptop yet, then yes. | 21:50 |
| Vad1 | Right, I uploaded the public key | 21:50 |
| Vad1 | What to do with the private one? | 21:50 |
| LaserJock | it should be in ~/.ssh/ | 21:50 |
| Odd_Bloke | Vad1: It should have been generated in the correct place, IIRC. | 21:50 |
| Vad1 | Any specific file name? | 21:50 |
| Vad1 | I did it on my server :/ | 21:51 |
| LaserJock | I have a id_dsa in ~/.ssh/ | 21:51 |
| LaserJock | if you have that you can scp that over | 21:51 |
| blueyed | Wouldn't it be possible to detect a "revert" before any commit, so that no files would get deleted? (I've read in bug 193980 that the problem only is too less information to have "proper" "undo") | 21:53 |

| igc | morning | 22:29 |
| lifeless | hi | 22:30 |
| lifeless | abentley: ping | 22:35 |
| abentley | lifeless: pong | 22:35 |
| lifeless | whats a good test to crib from that works with public locations? | 22:35 |
| lifeless | I want bzr push --shallow to default to looking for the parent branches public location | 22:36 |
| abentley | Maybe a merge directive test? | 22:36 |
| lifeless | k I'll look thanks | 22:37 |
| igc | lifeless: I'm wondering whether we ought to put an upper bound on the auto-repacking | 22:40 |
| lifeless | igc: we should fix the bugs marked 'pack' | 22:40 |
| igc | in my OOo import, the repack of 10 10,000 packs has been going for 14 hours now | 22:40 |
| igc | and in still stage 2/5 | 22:41 |
| lifeless | igc: you are at 100K revisions? | 22:41 |
| igc | yup | 22:41 |
| igc | there's 300,000+ just in trunk | 22:41 |
| igc | the full rpeo is closer to 500,000 | 22:41 |
| igc | I wondering whether 10,000 packs is big enough and beyond that we should only manually pack | 22:42 |
| lifeless | so, thats very slow. We should fix it being slow | 22:44 |
| lifeless | igc: with 10 packs you have 10 times the latency problem of 1 pack. | 22:44 |
| lifeless | igc: please get a lsprof of it. | 22:45 |
| lifeless | igc: hint: you can cp -a the repository while pack is active | 22:45 |
| lifeless | igc: then you can break lock and run 'pack' manually to lsprof it | 22:45 |
| igc | ok | 22:45 |
| lifeless | igc: so I don't think number of things to rearrange is the issue; because - its exponential backoff | 22:46 |
| lifeless | igc: the new pack this 10x10K operation creates will not be altered again at all by bzr during your import | 22:46 |
| lifeless | igc: clearly though we have a performance problem in the pack logic and we should fix that | 22:47 |
| igc | and memory pressure as well | 22:48 |
| igc | I think it's lack of memory (4G) that is causing the issue | 22:48 |
| igc | but 4G isn't 'lack of memory' | 22:48 |
| lifeless | so | 22:48 |
| lifeless | pack streams data | 22:48 |
| lifeless | it holds two things: the index, and an individual delta in memory at a time | 22:49 |
| lifeless | it uses a readv interface; a bug there would cause very high memory pressure | 22:49 |
| lifeless | and it buffers writes crudely; a bug there could lead to high memory pressure if you have many big deltas | 22:50 |
| lifeless | (but many small deltas will be fine) | 22:50 |
| lifeless | it could be the index builder | 22:50 |
| igc | thanks for the info | 22:51 |
| lifeless | it could be the memory pressure of the index | 22:51 |
| igc | I'll go digging later today | 22:51 |
| lifeless | so yeah - backup the repo before it completes so that we can reproduce it | 22:51 |
| igc | shall do so now | 22:51 |
| lifeless | and get a basic handle on whats wrong and I'll help fix that | 22:51 |
| igc | ok | 22:52 |
| foom | does bzr write out profile data even if you interrupt an operation, these days? | 22:52 |
| lifeless | for instance we may need to start tape-sorting the index we are creating incrementally with very large index sizes | 22:52 |
| lifeless | foom: maybe; ctrl-\ + a little prodding will let you finish early though :) | 22:52 |
| lifeless | is there a way to do optional strings on an option? | 23:07 |
| lifeless | --reference=bar, with --reference when given defaulting to something e.g. auto:// ? | 23:07 |
| lifeless | I'd like to not have two options (--shallow and --reference=url) | 23:08 |
| poolie | lifeless: i see your point but i think it's bad style | 23:12 |
| spiv | lifeless: hmm, I don't think so. How would that disambiguate between "--reference unrelated_argument" and "--reference bar"? | 23:12 |
| poolie | confusing when people say --option SOMETHING | 23:12 |
| lifeless | yeah | 23:12 |
| poolie | wot he said | 23:13 |
| lifeless | this has already occured to me | 23:13 |
| lifeless | but I still thought I'd ask | 23:13 |
| Prodoc | I accidentally added some folders I didn't want to track using 'bzr add' (windows xp), now when I try to remove those folders using 'bzr remove <folder name>' I get an error message: 'bzr: ERROR: Can't safely remove modified or unknown files:', can someone explain what's going on here? Is this a bug or should I exclude the folders in a different way? | 23:41 |
| lifeless | bzr rm --new --keep | 23:44 |
| Prodoc | --new? | 23:45 |
| lifeless | bzr help rm | 23:47 |
| Prodoc | heh, of course, thank. I'm ashamed to admit that I'm too much used to GUI's :-$ | 23:48 |
| Prodoc | it worked, cheers lifeless | 23:49 |
| lifeless | poolie: np | 23:57 |
