[14:56] <fullermd_> I wonder if anybody's ever used bzr on VMS...
[14:58] <jelmer> fullermd_: the way you say this makes it seem like you're about to try?
[14:58] <fullermd_> I never drink that much before noon.
[14:59] <fullermd_> I was just about to write "you can grab the current code with bzr from..." to somebody on VMS, then I realized they probably _can't_.  Or, wait, can then?  Hmm...
[15:00] <fullermd_> I'm pretty sure there's no VMS support code in bzr, but I wonder if the python env on VMS emulates enough POSIXisms that it doesn't need it.
[15:00] <fullermd_> The python package on http://www.vmspython.org/ seems to ship mercurial...
[15:01] <SamB> wow, somebody on VMS?
[15:01] <SamB> it seems like it's hard to get VMS nowadays
[15:01] <fullermd_> I think it's pretty easy, actually.  You just buy the wrong company for some other reason, and Tag!  You're it!
[15:01] <SamB> even if it *is* legal to use the "borrow media from a friend" approach to install it now
[15:04] <fullermd_> According to http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/pdf/openvms_roadmaps.pdf it's actually still in some level of support on VAX through next year.
[15:05] <SamB> what other ISAs does it support again?
[15:05] <fullermd_> VAX, Alpha, and Itanic.
[15:05] <SamB> okay, so, um, remind me which of those is the least dead?
[15:05] <fullermd_> Yes   ;)
[15:06] <SamB> I guess Debian most recently dropped Itanic so maybe that's the one?
[15:08] <fullermd_> Well, according to Wikipedia, VAX was still being manufactured up through 2005.  The 21364 was the las Alpha, and that predated the Compaq buyout in '98, but was apparently still made until 2007.
[22:18] <fifer> I'm setting up a very simple bzr setup on centos 6 which has 2.1.1 available with out getting too radical repository wise. How big a diference is there between 2.1.1 and 2.6? Not even using it for source, primarily text documents, manufacturing CNC files and drawings.
[22:19] <fifer> Especially interested in the ability to propigate changes in ways you cant with svn.
