| KombuchaKip | I'd like to get the last date of revision in my current working copy to be used in a Makefile. What is the recommended way to do that? | 02:28 |
|---|---|---|
| fullermd | Look at version-info | 02:33 |
| KombuchaKip | fullermd: Is that a bzr command? | 02:51 |
| KombuchaKip | fullermd: It's pretty slow to run. Thanks though. I'll look into it. | 02:53 |
| nealmcb | How do I get the logs for a file that is no longer visible? bzr log password.c | 21:04 |
| nealmcb | gives me : bzr: ERROR: Path unknown at end or start of revision range: libmysql/password.c | 21:04 |
| jelmer | hi nealmcb | 21:04 |
| jelmer | have you tried specifying a revision in which the file still exists ? | 21:04 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: Howdy! | 21:04 |
| nealmcb | well the first issue is figuring out when that would be | 21:05 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: And I did try bzr log -r tag:mysql-4.0.1 password.c which should have it, but got no result | 21:07 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: shouldn't that be bzr log -r tag:mysql-4.0.1 libmysql/password.c ? | 21:08 |
| nealmcb | well, I'm in that directory now, thought that was enough | 21:08 |
| jelmer | yeah, it should be | 21:08 |
| === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw | ||
| * jelmer tries to remember how the per file log logic works | 21:09 | |
| nealmcb | I also tried looking at a revision and later: bzr log -r tag:mysql-4.0.1.. password.c | 21:12 |
| nealmcb | and got bzr: ERROR: Start revision not found in left-hand history of end revision | 21:12 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: but this helps find where it still existed: bzr ls -r tag:mysql-4.0.1 | 21:13 |
| nealmcb | ....if I do that for previous revisions with boolean search.... | 21:15 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: alternatively, it should be possible to just do "bzr log -v | less" and search for libmysql/password.c | 21:17 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: useful trick - I thought about that before with just a grep, but then I wouldn't necessarily get all the context I wanted, which could be very big... | 21:20 |
| nealmcb | it's also pretty slow to go thru the whole log.... | 21:20 |
| jelmer | Yeah; we should improve log to do the right thing. | 21:21 |
| jelmer | It's not entirely trivial as there may have been multiple different files that have had that particular name over the course of history | 21:21 |
| nealmcb | odd - the first hit was on revno 2 - so no log of the deletion?? | 21:23 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: there should be | 21:23 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: perhaps its parent directory was renamed at some point before it was deleted? | 21:24 |
| nealmcb | Ahh - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/181520 | 21:25 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 181520 in Bazaar "bzr log FILE don't show revisions where file was removed" [High,Confirmed] | 21:25 |
| nealmcb | 3 years old.... | 21:25 |
| nealmcb | Got any handy scripts to do binary search on the "ls" command? I can't think of anything better right now.... | 21:26 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: you're not using "bzr log FILE" now though are you? | 21:26 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: Nope - bzr log -v |less | 21:27 |
| jelmer | another thing you might try is "bzr log -r2.. libmysql/password.c" | 21:27 |
| nealmcb | using Bazaar (bzr) 2.2.4 | 21:28 |
| nealmcb | I get bzr: ERROR: Path unknown at end or start of revision range: libmysql/libmysql/password.c | 21:28 |
| nealmcb | Oh - removing libmysql/ since I'm in the directory -- and I get nothing | 21:29 |
| nealmcb | (no error message, no log beyond what I see in revno 2) | 21:30 |
| jelmer | this is in a standard mysql tree? | 21:31 |
| nealmcb | oops - I had switched to look in a branch of an old revision.... now I'm getting logs | 21:31 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: Ahh - good - this even shows me the removal: bzr log -v -r2.. password.c | 21:34 |
| nealmcb | when I use the right tree.... | 21:34 |
| nealmcb | but it sure would be nice to be able to find out the last time the file was removed. | 21:34 |
| nealmcb | jelmer: thanks! | 21:34 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: np | 21:38 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: It would indeed be nice to have some way to refer to removed files, not just to files in the start or end tree. | 21:38 |
| lifeless | bzr search can do some of that FWIW | 21:41 |
| jelmer | ah, that's good to know | 21:42 |
| nealmcb | lifeless: No help could be found for 'search' | 21:43 |
| jelmer | nealmcb: it's a separate plugin - lp:bzr-search | 21:44 |
| nealmcb | lifeless: after install, bzr help search refers to a mysterious "QUERY" argument - where does one find more? | 21:47 |
| lifeless | nealmcb: run bzr index | 22:04 |
| lifeless | nealmcb: then bzr search libmysql/libmysql/password.c | 22:04 |
| lifeless | hmm, I may not have wired it up; it certainly knows the path | 22:06 |
| lifeless | nealmcb: I was mainly mentioning it to jelmer, in case he is looking at ways to address finding deleted files in core | 22:06 |
| nealmcb | lifeless: Re: 'This locates documents in bzr at a given url and creates a search index for that url' | 22:16 |
| nealmcb | I'm still puzzled - are documents just any sort of file? url would typically be a local path (needs to be a file:// url or not?) | 22:17 |
| nealmcb | is it a full-text index? of all previous revisions? If it is too big is there a way to delete the index? | 22:17 |
| lifeless | its a full text index | 22:18 |
| lifeless | paths, deltas to files etc | 22:18 |
| lifeless | its stored in .bzr/bzr-search | 22:18 |
| lifeless | you can just rm that dir | 22:18 |
| lifeless | by url it means any location you can pass to bzr for e.g. info/log etc | 22:19 |
| nealmcb | can I just index a directory? I try bzr index . and it says that isn't a branch. | 22:20 |
| nealmcb | would it return a hit for every revision, or summarize them somehow? | 22:20 |
| nealmcb | (sorry to pester you with questions....) | 22:20 |
| lifeless | nealmcb: you can only index a branch, though indexing a subdir of a branch is an interesting question its not been implemented | 22:23 |
| lifeless | bzr index $(bzr root) | 22:23 |
| lifeless | will find the root of your branch for you | 22:23 |
| lifeless | I just did | 22:25 |
| lifeless | bzr search socket timeout | 22:25 |
| lifeless | in bzr | 22:25 |
| lifeless | http://pastebin.com/NtsULbNn | 22:25 |
| lifeless | is the output | 22:25 |
| lifeless | its a little geekish | 22:25 |
| lifeless | the revisions can be passed to other commands like log though - via '-r revid:$therevision' | 22:26 |
| lifeless | or show in annotate with --show-ids, that sort of thing | 22:26 |
| nealmcb | lifeless: Thanks for the tips, and the code! | 22:40 |
| lifeless | my pleasure | 22:42 |
| lifeless | if you wanted to file a bug on including/excluding paths to index, that would be cool. | 22:42 |
| * lifeless afks | 22:43 | |
