| jimt | I would like to migrate a bzr branch to git. The internet suggests I use bzr fast-export --plain to do that, but when I try using Bazaar 2.7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 it complains that fast-export is an unknown command. Is there a plugin I need to install? | 05:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Peng | jimt: apt-get install bzr-fastimport | 05:42 |
| Peng | I can't say if it's particular the best tool for this job, but that is the package. | 05:42 |
| Peng | particularly* | 05:43 |
| jimt | Peng: Thanks. I had tried installing bzr-fastimport, but Ubuntu warned me that it had been replaced by python-fastimport. And I have the latest version of that installed, but no fast-export command. | 05:44 |
| Peng | Oh. D: | 05:45 |
| jimt | And unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a python-fastexport (or anything obvious with export in its name). | 05:46 |
| Peng | I almost wonder if Ubuntu made a mistake... They added the package back in Yakkety. | 05:47 |
| Peng | The bzr-fastimport package, i mean. | 05:47 |
| fullermd | 'm pretty sure they're not the same thing... | 05:48 |
| Peng | The python-fastimport package appears not to contain bzr-fastimport. | 05:48 |
| fullermd | I use git-bzr-ng to maintain a git mirror of some bzr branches. You might look at that. | 05:49 |
| Peng | http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/all/python-fastimport/filelist vs. http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/all/bzr-fastimport/filelist | 05:49 |
| Peng | Super weird. bzr-fastimport exists in 14.04 and 16.10 but not 16.04. ??? | 05:49 |
| Peng | There are ways to install things that aren't Ubuntu packages, of course. But i don't get this. | 05:50 |
| jimt | Hmm... Since I only need to do this once, I'll just log in to a 14.04 machine. I should have tried that. | 05:51 |
| jimt | Thanks peng and fullermd for the help/suggestions. | 05:51 |
| jimt | Yes, it did indeed work on 14.04... so I've got the git repo I was after. I filed a bug on Launchpad about the missing package. Thanks again for the pointers. | 06:15 |
