[22:20] <kay_> hi, I have run 'bzr branch' on the emacs-24 repository but all I get is a .bzr directory
[22:21] <LeoNerd> Maybe it doesn't have a checkout yet?
[22:21] <kay_> do I type a checkout command?
[22:21] <LeoNerd> I'd be tempted to
[22:22] <kay_> do i just type 'bzr checkout'
[22:22] <kay_> it says that its not a branch but that its a repository
[22:22] <LeoNerd> Hmmm
[22:22] <kay_> first time bzr user
[22:23] <LeoNerd> Oh, oops; you might have branched from the repository.. which probably ought to fail but might have had an empty branch in it for some reason
[22:23] <LeoNerd> A repo is not a branch; a repo -contains- branches.
[22:24] <kay_> I followed the instructions on the website for emacs development, so i have no idea where to go from here
[22:25] <LeoNerd> What instructions?
[22:25] <kay_> on http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/
[22:26] <kay_> it says I can access the main repository with 'bzr branch bzr://bzr.sv.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-24'
[22:27] <LeoNerd> So, you have an  emacs-24  directory?
[22:28] <kay_> yes
[22:28] <LeoNerd> And inside that is ... just the .bzr and nothing else?
[22:28] <kay_> its possible, also, that the bzr command crapped out
[22:29] <LeoNerd> Ah.. well, it would hopefully have printed some long error message if it did so
[22:29] <LeoNerd> ... though beware that OOM-killer is silent ;)  check  $?  afterwards
[22:29] <kay_> i backgrounded it and closed the terminal it was in
[22:29] <kay_> silly me
[22:29] <LeoNerd> Ah. :) Well don't do that.  Maybe use 'screen' or similar if you want to detach and resume again later
[22:30] <kay_> i needed to kill X because I was running in a VM with 512mb ram
[22:30] <kay_> but yeah, i didn't think it would take 30 minutes ro run
[22:30] <kay_> re-running it now from better instructions
[22:32] <kay_> this crap literally takes forever
