[03:58] <bkerensa> slangasek: I have run into a interesting source package
[03:59] <bkerensa> slangasek: lp:ubuntu/bash gives me a package that essentially is just a directory with a compress source package of bash and a debian directory but it does not include the source files in a uncompressed state like most packages I have worked with?
[04:00] <bkerensa> Hmm it would seem the branches for bash are a bit peculiar
[04:01] <bkerensa> slangasek: Hmm when I try to branch the precise bash branch I get a error "bzr: ERROR: Revision {steve.langasek@canonical.com-20111106190907-jzcpeo7ol1yuyip3} not present in "Graph(StackedParentsProvider(bzrlib.repository._LazyListJoin(([CachingParentsProvider(None)], []))))".
[04:01] <bkerensa> "
[07:35] <slangasek> bkerensa: not all maintainers put their source packages together the same way.  tar-in-tar like bash uses is considered deprecated, but it still happens.
[07:35] <slangasek> bkerensa: as for the bzr error, I don't know, what command did you run?
[08:36] <bkerensa> .
[08:40] <bkerensa> slangasek: bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/bash/precise-201112011313
[08:40] <bkerensa> that resulted in the error ^
[08:40] <bkerensa> one of the other bash branches in ubuntu has a very similiar error
[13:16] <kees> bkerensa: working on tar-in-tar is very annoying. testing new patches becomes rather tedious.
