solancerhi guys10:55
solancerhow can I fork a PPA from launchpad and upload it to my personal Archive ?10:55
mgrandiuhh10:57
mgrandibzr clone lp:whatever10:57
mgrandibzr push somewhere10:57
solanceroops i did this instead10:59
solancerbzr branch lp:unity10:59
solancerit grabbed all the folders and stuff11:00
solancerbut I need to change the name as well11:00
mgzsame thing.11:00
solancerso if I've understood correctly11:00
solancerI've cloned the unity repository11:00
solancerand now its ready for me make changes and push to my personal PPA11:01
mgrandiRoR isn't having a good week11:01
solancerwhat does upstream merge mean ?11:02
solancerI've seen that on unity-revamped PPA11:02
mgzsolancer: what you want to do requires a reasonable understanding of development and debian packaging, you probably want to start with just getting a change done locally and working for you11:04
solancermgz, so what do i need to learn first11:06
solancerI've used git in the past for creating repos on github11:07
mgzsolancer: well, you have a local copy of unity, I'd start by changing that and getting it working for you, ask in #ubuntu what channel unity devs hang out it11:09
solancermgz, cool11:09
mgzthey should then be able to give you hints about what recipes they use for their ppa and such like11:09
solancermgz, but I don't want to  install it on my local machine that would break packages11:10
solancermgz, but I can install it on my V-box machines11:10
solanceranyway I can build deb file and install it on the v-box machine11:11

gmarkallif i cherrypick a couple of revisions from a branch, with the intention of later merging that picked-from branch into the current branch, am I likely to encounter any problems in the future? Or is this a relatively safe thing to do?13:56
mgzit's reasonably safe.13:57
gmarkallmany thanks13:57

mgznot great as a core part of your workflow though, as it's nice to keep the revision details for the first time code is merged, and avoid potential conflict pain13:58
mgzbut for ocassional things, it mostly works fine because bzr can genreally figure out (or give you a reasonable conflict) if a diff gets applied twice14:00
gmarkalli need to get a critical fix that's just been applied to the branch i'm picking from, but i don't have time to merge the whole branch right now - there's been some big changes in the picked-from branch since i last merged. is cherrypick the way to go in this situation?14:00
mgzright, that exactly the kind of situation where it's the right thing to do14:01
gmarkallah, great - thanks :-)14:02

Sontihi guys I have a quick question about bazaar. I want to use it locally and I'm not too sure about what to select in location when initialising. Do I set it inside the folder where my project is or do I set it up somewhere else (e.g c:\) and then add the project folder?20:08
LarstiQSonti: the former20:11
LarstiQSonti: so in commandline parlance, `cd project; bzr init`20:12
Sontiok thanks. My concern is that I have multiple projects under one folder ie MyProjects. Should I set it in there or MyProjects\projectxxx. I like the idea of having one version control for all of them at once in case I go back to one of my old prototypes but I'm just not sure if I should do it individually for each project folder instead.20:13
LarstiQSonti: well, you can do it in various ways of course. I'd recommend doing it per project though.20:14
LarstiQSonti: operations are tree wide20:15
LarstiQSonti: you can try it out, and if you don't like it do it differently20:16
SontiLarstiQ thanks. I guess it would be neater per project. I'll do that.20:16
