[06:06] 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 ? [06:07] It seems that BZR_EMAIL environment variable doesnt achieve this :-S [06:12] 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 [06:26] I see, I'm dealing with this other thing called "breezy" [06:27] Which also seems to use BRZ_EMAIL but that doesn't appear to fix anything [06:34] oh scratch that, I was feeding in the env vars to the command invocation incorrectly it seems, fixed [06:34] 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] bzr merge+commit doesn't do that [06:36] oh no it didn't, I had a breezy.conf while testing, still borked [06:37] (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) [06:39] * pabs3 wishes git-remote-bzr was working [06:41] eek this really seems broken :-S [06:42] Even if I create ~/TEST/.bazaar/bazaar.conf and ~/TEST/.bazaar/breezy.conf giving a stand-in email configuration, `BZR_HOME="${HOME}/TEST" bzr whoami` still bails [06:43] (with, or without the .bazaar/ subdir present, same result) [06:45] I can work around this with `HOME="${HOME}/TEST" bzr whoami`, that's pretty dirty but should essentially work [06:59] aha, I wanted bzr merge --pull [07:29] Ok I solved my confusion [07:30] 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) [07:31] 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] The test scaffolding setting up the test repo however was only using BZR_EMAIL and not BRZ_EMAIL for breezy [07:31] Solved :) === tristan__ is now known as gtristan
