grepperwgrant: I repacked the debian/ubuntu to use the python3 ready 'txt2tags' script from the python3 branch of txt2tags. (more or less as you suggested). Where would be a good place to upload it to? Current ppa is called 'tovid-ppa' at https://launchpad.net/~grepper/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. Do I just create a branch for it within that ppa?14:37
wgrantgrepper: I don't understand what you mean by "branch for it within that ppa". You can just upload the package to that PPA, no need for a branch.21:49
grepperwgrant: okay, I just thought it was strange to have a 'txt2tags' in a ppa named 'tovid-ppa'21:51
wgrantgrepper: Shrug, it's a dependency, seems reasonable to me.21:51
greppermaybe I have been using branches wrongly, too much svn background I guess - I created a 0.35.2 branch when I updated from 0.35.1 which was dumb I guess ?21:52
wgrantgrepper: What do you mean by "created a 0.35.2 branch"?21:53
wgrantWhat kind of branch?21:54
grepperfor uploading code21:55
grepperhttps://code.launchpad.net/~grepper21:56
wgrantAh, so you mean an actual Bazaar branch, right.21:56
grepperyes21:57
wgrantUsing branches that way isn't by any means wrong, but it's unusual.21:57
wgrantIt would be more common to have eg. a 0.35 branch which gets updated with 0.35.1, 0.35.2, etc.21:57
wgrantSince a branch with 0.35.1 in the name is probably always going to be 0.35.1, which makes it sorta pointless.21:57
grepperyou mean using tags ?21:57
grepperie. to be able to go back and check out older code21:58
wgrantRight, it's common to use tags to specify which revision corresponds to which package version.21:58
wgrantTools like debcommit will automatically add them for you.21:58
grepperokay, thanks21:58
wgrantIf you look at Ubuntu's official branches, we have one for each package for each series.21:59
wgranteg. there's the dpkg trusty branch, the dpkg vivid branch, etc.21:59
grepperguess I'm royally confused after just moving my project from google code to githup (svn -> git) and now bzr21:59
grepperI have it backwards I guess22:00
grepperas all dists are in  each branch22:00
wgrantIn terms of how you use them to manage releases, branches in all three VCSes are reasonably similar.22:00
greppernot that it really matters as its exactly the same code22:00
wgrantRight, you probably don't want to operate quite like Ubuntu.22:00
grepperokay, thanks for your clarification22:00
wgrantUbuntu doesn't push the same release to everywhere -- we don't push 2.0 to trusty if trusty had 1.0 originally.22:01
wgrantSo we need separate branches so we can backport fixes to any version in a stable release.22:01
wgrantIn your case, you probably have a single branch that builds on all series.22:01
grepperright22:01
wgrantIt might make sense to just have a "tovid-ppa" branch, for example.22:01
greppermaybe I'll tag then merge them, if I can figure out how ...22:02
