| gtristan | Any idea how to get around this error "ERROR: Unable to determine your name." without invoking `bzr whoami` and contaminating the user's preferences/configuration ? | 06:06 |
|---|---|---|
| gtristan | It seems that BZR_EMAIL environment variable doesnt achieve this :-S | 06:07 |
| gtristan | verified that this is not an instance of https://bugs.launchpad.net/brz/+bug/1869178 (spelling error BRZ_EMAIL) - this seems particular to fedora 32, though :-S | 06:12 |
| gtristan | I see, I'm dealing with this other thing called "breezy" | 06:26 |
| gtristan | Which also seems to use BRZ_EMAIL but that doesn't appear to fix anything | 06:27 |
| gtristan | oh scratch that, I was feeding in the env vars to the command invocation incorrectly it seems, fixed | 06:34 |
| pabs3 | I'm trying to figure out how to do a merge, while preserving the commits from the contributor's branch, rather than having me as the committer/author | 06:34 |
| pabs3 | bzr merge+commit doesn't do that | 06:34 |
| gtristan | oh no it didn't, I had a breezy.conf while testing, still borked | 06:36 |
| gtristan | (Unfortunately I can't really help regarding the right merge command, I'm only marginally using bzr in a plugin for a build orchestration tool :-S) | 06:37 |
| * pabs3 wishes git-remote-bzr was working | 06:39 | |
| gtristan | eek this really seems broken :-S | 06:41 |
| gtristan | Even if I create ~/TEST/.bazaar/bazaar.conf and ~/TEST/.bazaar/breezy.conf giving a stand-in email configuration, `BZR_HOME="${HOME}/TEST" bzr whoami` still bails | 06:42 |
| gtristan | (with, or without the .bazaar/ subdir present, same result) | 06:43 |
| gtristan | I can work around this with `HOME="${HOME}/TEST" bzr whoami`, that's pretty dirty but should essentially work | 06:45 |
| pabs3 | aha, I wanted bzr merge --pull | 06:59 |
| gtristan | Ok I solved my confusion | 07:29 |
| gtristan | The BZR_EMAIL / BRZ_EMAIL indeed *do* work as I expected them to, however they are only required (logically) at *write* time (when generating commits) | 07:30 |
| gtristan | I was observing problems in my test cases, and focusing on the plugin code which clones/checks out from bzr, but this part does not require the email... | 07:31 |
| gtristan | The test scaffolding setting up the test repo however was only using BZR_EMAIL and not BRZ_EMAIL for breezy | 07:31 |
| gtristan | Solved :) | 07:31 |
