michaelhHi there.  I'm having trouble with making my first feature branch: bzr branch has been sitting there at 100 % CPU for about 15 minutes03:03
spmmichaelh: that sounds... uncool. is this a private/public branch on lp? or?03:13
michaelhI'm new to this, but it's a LP branch that I have locally and I'm trying to create a feature branch off it03:14
michaelh(it is GCC so it's a good size, but still)03:14
michaelhThe LP branch is https://code.launchpad.net/~linaro-toolchain-dev/gcc-linaro/4.403:15
michaelhI pulled it down locally using bzr branch lp:gcc-linaro/4.403:15
michaelhI then used bzr branch linaro-4.4 linaro-mlh03:15
michaelhIt did complete in the end.  Sat at 100 % CPU on a dual core machine and ~600 MB of RAM03:16
michaelhAll under stock Lucid on i38603:16
spmOh! istr that gcc has some *insane* # of commits that are evilness personified. IMBW, but possibly that's cause/effect right there.03:18
spmI vaguely recall it being problematic on the lp importds....03:18
michaelhbzr revno shows 95535.  du -sk .bzr is 490 MB.03:20
michaelhIt finished so I'm happy.  I thought I'd hit a bug :)03:21
spmheh, the bug is 'gcc is wildly optimistic with the number of revno's it really needs' ;-)03:21
michaelhspm: Sorry, unrelated topic: I'm writing my first ChangeLog entry and want to link to the LP bug ID.  Is there a standard format?03:26
michaelhspm: (It's only us NZ and AUS people awake at the moment so I can't ask my usuals :)03:26
spmmichaelh: there is a shortform URL? as for "style" format, no idea.03:26
spmeg. https://launchpad.net/bugs/<bugid>03:27
michaelhspm: The GCC people put a line like 'PR fortran/43836' on any ChangeLog entries that fix a issue03:27
michaelhPerhaps lp:123456 would be fine?03:27
spmheh, actually I think the bzr folks are all in prague atm with the lp sprint03:27
spmno idea :-)03:27
michaelhTa.03:29
lifelessmoin03:34
spmlifeless: no. I think that's more accurately called 'night', although, I grant, it is oft considered 'morning' :-)03:35
lifelessis 043503:35
lifelessis morningk03:36
spmI'm aware of that :-)03:36
spmgood flights over?03:36
lifelessyeah, bad ones over too03:36
spmbleh03:36
michaelhI'm a bit stuck on using feature branches in bzr against LP.  Where's a good place to ask?03:38
lifelessI don't know, depends on what you're stuck i'd say03:44
lifelesswhat are you stuck on?03:44
michaelhI have a branch of a lp:gcc-linaro/4.4.  I took a local feature branch of that.  I made my changes and committed to the feature branch.  I now want to push this feature branch to LP so that I can ask Loic to merge it to trunk03:46
michaelhI think 'bzr push "lp:~michaelh1/gcc-linaro/4.4-dev" is right, but it stacks on the 4.5 branch instead03:47
lifelessthats fine03:47
lifelessstacking is just storage optimisation03:47
michaelhOK.  So he'll be able to merge it just fine, even though they're based on mildly different things?03:48
lifelessno03:48
lifeless*stacking does not mean based on*03:48
lifelesshe'll be able to merge it fine because you based it on 4.403:48
michaelhAh.  So feature branch is based on local branch is based on LP:4.403:48
michaelhIt's pushing a lot of data up - is it going to push all of the 490 MB branch for my small change??03:51
lifelessno03:51
lifelesslool: ^03:52
michaelhHmm.  12 MB at 60 kB/s so far.  I guess that is due to 'trunk' being based off 4.5... let's see how it turns out...03:52
michaelhDoes bzr push resume on network loss?04:13
lifelessnot curently04:13
michaelhIf it does push the full 493 MB, then it will take 2.3 hours at the current 60 kB/s.  I'm worried about it dropping out at 99 % :)04:15
michaelhCan I stage the push, rsync it to somewhere with a faster connection, then finish the push from there?04:16
lifelessmichaelh: lool was going to have a cronjob setup so that it doesn't need to upload all that much data04:29
lifelessif you want to do things incrementally use the -r parameter -04:29
lifelesspush -r 1000004:29
lifelesspush -r 2000004:29
lifelessetc04:29
michaelhTa.04:30
lifeless(hopefully obviously, that will be less efficient)04:31
michaelhCurrently at 157 MB.  Let's see how it goes...04:31
lifelessanother possibility is that you interrupted the early attempts after object creation before storage of the stacking info04:31
lifelessso you could be pushing to an unstacked instance04:32
michaelhHow can I tell, and how can I fix it if it's true?04:34
lifelessbzr reconfigure can change it04:34
lifelessand bzr info will tell you04:34
lifeless(bzr info url)04:34
jbowtieI just announced bzr-tfs on the mailing list, now awaiting my first bug report.05:08
jbowtieWhich will probably be someone telling me I did the announcement wrong.05:09
fullermdLooks like it has too few vowels to me...05:13
jbowtiefullermd: I'll try to put extra vowels in the blog posts about how I wrote the plugin.05:15
fullermdWill you be consonant in your pursuit of this solemn vowel?05:15
jbowtiefullermd: No.05:41

swathanthranwhat does --versioned do actually? is it like ignoring the files that has not yet been added?08:08
lifelessI think so08:09
swathanthranok.08:09
mwhudsoni think bzr ls lists all files in the tree, even ignored and unversioned08:22
mwhudson(without more options)08:23
loollifeless: I did setup a cron job, and I could push a verbatim copy of a branch in almost no time08:38
loolhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/462396/ is the job08:39
loolIt didn't even break when I moved the branches around08:39
lifelessok cool08:39
lifelessI wonder what went wrong for michaelh08:39
loolI moved the branches recently, I wonder whether that could have had such a side effect08:40
lool(changed owner from ~gcc-linaro-dev to ~linaro-toolchain-dev)08:40
Noldorinhi. i'm trying to get bzr to connection to launchpad behind an http proxy. any ideas?09:45
Noldorinfollowed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1039057/how-do-i-use-bazaar-with-a-http-proxy so far, ut no luck it seems09:45
GaryvdMNoldorin: have you tested if it works using the long url, e.g. bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~user/project/branch/ ?09:48
NoldorinGaryvdM: no, by i will do now.09:48
GaryvdMNoldorin: It uses https to convert lp:~user/project/branch/ to  bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~user/project/branch/09:49
NoldorinGaryvdM: same error i'm afraid09:49
Noldorincts\IRC.NET> bzr co bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~noldorin/ircdotnet/devel bzr: ERROR: Unable to connect to SSH host bazaar.launchpad.net; (10060, 'Operation timed out')09:49
GaryvdMNoldorin: then you will need to get you administrator to open port 22 (ssh) for you09:50
NoldorinGaryvdM: i've set the appropiate env vars for the http proxy. that's not too reliale ehi?09:50
GaryvdMNoldorin: http proxies only work for http, not ssh09:52
GaryvdMNoldorin: if you only need read access, then you can access your branch over http09:52
GaryvdMNoldorin: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ircdotnet-dev/ircdotnet/devel/09:57
GaryvdMNoldorin: That url will allow you readonly access.09:57
NoldorinGaryvdM: ah, that should do the job. thank you09:58
NoldorinGaryvdM: odd. i get:09:59
Noldorinbzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Connection lost while sending request.09:59
GaryvdMNoldorin: I'm sorry - I'm not sure then.10:00
Noldorinno worries10:00
Kream what are the downsides to bazaar over, say, git, for a VCS for config files?11:38
Kreamusing etckeeper, I mean11:38
Kream what are the downsides to bazaar over, say, git, for a VCS for config files?11:47
maxbnone? :-)11:48
Kreamhehe11:48
Kreamsome guys were saying it's slowness is a big downside11:48
Kreamis that really a problem with etckeeper?11:48
Kreamsystem isn't really very heavily loaded.11:48
maxbBazaar is slower than Git, this is true. But that only starts to become an issue on huge trees. An /etc is pretty tiny11:49
Kreamtrue, true.11:53
Kreamwhat's an advantage bazaar has over git?11:53
Kreamgenerally, and as far as the /etc tree is concerned as well11:53
maxbI think that's mostly a question of personal preference. Personally I find git to be excessively obscure, and to have the learning curve from hell11:59
maxbWhereas bzr can do everything I could use git to do, and leave me happier about doing it :-)12:00
Kreamgreat :)12:06
svakshaPermission denied (publickey). bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: please check connectivity and permissions (and try -Dhpss if further diagnosis is required). Any idea why this error occurs while getting a branch from LP? TIA.12:07
BusErrorgiven a failed merge, how to I just cancel and reset to the HEAD ?13:04
maxbBusError: bzr revert13:40
maxbsvaksha: Connection problems of some sort? Check with ssh your-lp-id@bazaar.launchpad.net13:41
svakshamaxb: that is odd. i'm able to push and pull to my branch but cant pull another's branch15:25
