[MERGE] Fix #87179 by using the short status format when the shortformat is used for log.

The fix is certainly simpler now than when the bug was reported. Hence the almost trivial patch, Vincent

One big project with multiple small projects

Lionel Dricot — 2008-12-01T14:34:54

Hello, I'm starting one big project which consist of several independant modules that will talk over D-BUS. I'm wondering how I can set a bzr repository for it. Some background : - Each module will have a different maintener (even if a maintener can have multiple module) - Some modules are existing Open Source application that already use bzr for their upstream development. - There should be a central point which handle all the modules (like a shell script that will start them all) - The whole project should be easily installable on a freshly installed computer (so we want to avoid a big howto which implies doing 17 bzr branch) Solution that I see : 1) Having a big bzr repository that will handle the whole project + Easy to set up and to install on a new computer : bzr branch and you are done - Mainteners are maybe not interested in all other modules - Upstream sync becomes a nightmare. It means that we take an existing project and put it in our own VCS which I want to avoid at all costs. 2) Having a b

Equivalent to SVN lock

Lionel Dricot — 2008-12-01T14:23:50

Hello, Here at work, we have a big binary file (shame on us, it's an Excel file) that should be regularly updated by some people. This file is on a SVN repository and, in order to avoid conflict, we use svn lock feature : http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.ref.svn.c.lock.html The workflow is then : svn update svn lock xls file update the file svn commit svn unlock Is there any equivalent in Bzr (I didn't found one) or any workflow that would allow us to edit the file ? Thanks in advance, Lionel

Reusing or delete branch name/path in a central repository

Michael Reichenauer — 2008-12-01T14:00:36

Hi! There does not seam to be a way to delete a branch from a central repository using Bazaar commands, e.g. “bzr branch –delete ”. Is there a known workaround for this without providing access to the actual file system where the Bazaar repository is stored? I guess there is a good reasons for not including the delete branch support, and I would appreciate some comments regarding this issue, or if some one can post a link or search phrase with more information. I have searched for information and found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276295 I imagine two uses for deleting branches: 1) After a branch has been merged into the parent, there is often little use of keeping the branch, especially after some time when the project has moved forward. 2) It would make it possible to reuse branch names/paths. E.g. the second time that someone wants to implement a specific feature. On a local file system (distributed work flow) this is of course no problem, but when working with a central

[rfc] 'bzr reconfigure --stacked-on/--no-stacked'

Martin Pool — 2008-12-01T07:04:35

There is at present no user-accessible way to change a branch between being stacked on another repository, and containing all its history in its own repository. I think there should be. It would be useful in general, and in particular as a workaround if people are having trouble with stacking on Launchpad, which suggests that setting for some projects. Basically this is just to expose the Branch.set_stacked_on() call. I think this belongs in 'reconfigure'; it shouldn't be invoked often enough to need its own command.

thread names in urls (Re: Creating a branch other than master usingbzr-git)

RFC: commit-to-branch

Robert Collins — 2008-12-01T04:29:53

I'd like some feedback on UI for committing to a different branch. Firstly the use case - in a loom one often prepares work that belongs on a different lower thread[branch]. The slow way is: bzr switch actual-thread bzr commit files-to-commit bzr shelve --all while not-on-the-original-thread up;bzr commit bzr unshelve --all I'd like this to be a single command for convenience. I think overloading commit is best because this can be used for normal bzr branches too (or the recently announced many-branches-colocated plugin too). So splitting this up there are several different things needed: - loom needs to be able to intercept the 'update the working tree' step and have it do the 'up-commit-repeat' dance in the background, then give control back, with a new local revision id. - commit needs an option to tell it to commit to a different branch object, and when doing that commit it wants to apply a delta based on the current tree rather than supplying full texts. - loom needs to make sure tha

[merge][#165014] url parser accepts IPv6 literals

Martin Pool — 2008-12-01T03:45:01

Here's a cleanup of the patch attached to this bug. It doesn't completely fix it as there's still a problem in actually creating a socket to an ipv6 server. I moved the code from Transport to being in urlutils which seems a better place. This method is a bit duplicative of the builtin python urlparse, but it can't handle the case complained of in this bug.

bzr version numbers

BzrEclipse and CPU load

Thomas Manson — 2008-11-29T23:51:23

Hi, I've been using BzrEclipse for some several hours in train trip on a laptop, and I've to say that it's not usable in this way. Each time you make a right click on a file, you get some Full CPU load for 5-10 seconds (power saving mode, CPU is weak) and the worse, if you happen to modify a file in your project (why should someone do that :op), it get full CPU load for one or 2 minutes. So if you want to work on a laptop, you have to set your cpu speed to max so that it do not take too much time or see your CPU suck your battery during several minutes. The same behaviour exist on a regular computer but less noticable (but still... it slow down things). So... BzrEclipse compared to CVS is damn slow (yes... crazy isn't it ?) I've the impression that each time you modify a file, it rescan the whole project (why would it take so long and so much CPU) I've setup my project on launchpad, but I'm seriously considering to revert back to CVS for this performance reason. There's many eclipse developer arou

Bazaar meld plugin

[MERGE][#303206] Call PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL inPatienceSequenceMatcher_new.

Andrew Bennetts — 2008-11-29T00:36:50

This one-liner hopefully fixes a SystemError in _patiencediff_c. If a malloc call in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new returned NULL, we were returning NULL from PatienceSequenceMatcher_new without setting a Python exception, thus the SystemError. This patch calls PyErr_NoMemory before the return, to cause a MemoryError instead. This doesn't fix , but hopefully it will at least make it fail with an appropriate exception (and make it possible to write code that catches the MemoryError and falls back to something less memory hungry, perhaps just dumping THIS/OTHER files to disk?) -Andrew.

Group writable bzr+ssh

Brad Schick — 2008-11-28T23:24:55

Using the smart server through bzr+ssh, I'd like several users to be able to collaborate on ad-hoc branches without manually setting permissions or configuring special umasks. I've read in several places that bzr can preserve the group permission from the repo, but this isn't working for me on Ubuntu 8.04 with the dev ppa version of bazaar 1.9: bzr --version Bazaar (bzr) 1.9 Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.2 Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5 bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib ...

Please help Python team decide on a VCS

Ben Finney — 2008-11-28T21:24:49

Howdy all, The Python development team is currently drafting a PEP discussing the move from Subversion to a modern VCS. The contenders are Bazaar, Mercurial, and Git. The PEP document is being drafted via Google Docs, and is currently at . Sadly I can't see any way of contacting the authors; presumably the ‘python-dev’ mailing list would be appropriate. Though Bazaar has made the cut for evaluation, it is currently the least represented by information; most of the use cases have “fill in this blank” markers waiting for actual information. I would be delighted to see Bazaar chosen as the VCS for tracking Python development; I hope someone can work with the relevant people in the Python development team to improve this PEP with sufficient information on Bazaar to make the informed choice.

Is it possible to disable autopack?

Christian Tschabuschnig — 2008-11-28T16:42:24

I'm doing file-based remote backups of a bazaar repository. The revisions often have several megabytes. I want to disable autopacking because the consolidation every 10 commits costs a lot of bandwith. Is there a option to disable autopacking for a single repository? I guess i could disable autopack for all repositories by adding a "return False" in autopack in pack_repo.py?

bzr for documents

Rustom Mody — 2008-11-28T13:27:00

I dont know if this is right use for bzr (or if this is a very basic question :-) I want to use bzr for text documents -- usually emacs-org files. The usage scenario is 1. Files reside in a number of different directories 2. Many (one-off) documents may not be versioned 3. Their histories are usually unrelated 4. Documents that are versioned may have complex (branching) histories So some (specific) questions:

bzr 1.10rc1 released for testing

Martin Pool — 2008-11-28T06:11:24

Hi, I'm happy to announce availability of bzr 1.10rc1, and to ask for your help in testing it. Our goal is to make a final release of 1.10 later this week. Source is available now from and Ubuntu and other packages should be available soon. The full changelog is below. It makes sense to concentrate testing on the things most changed in this release: shelve and unshelve, fetching, and bzr+ssh operations. If you find problems, please let us know by filing a bug, or on irc or the list.

[merge] notes on how to use bzr-builddeb to package bzr-svn

Keeping local configuration versioned

Maciej Katafiasz — 2008-11-27T12:27:55

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to what I think is a fairly common problem: I'm working on a website, and obviously have a local branch. This branch, in addition to all the development I want to push upstream, has some changes related to the DB/host settings that I _don't_ want propagated into mainline, but which I'd nevertheless like to have versioned (the changed files are versioned in the mainline, so I sort of don't have a choice anyway). However, I can't see a branch structure/plugin/whatever that would let me have that. I thought about just arranging multiple local branches carefully at first, but I couldn't find a setup that wouldn't result in either me having to sync things manually (not good) or having to remember about not committing things (obviously a no go). For a moment, it looked like loom might be the solution, but it turns out it's actually sort of opposite of what I want to achieve (it lets me hide history and the resulting changes on the fly, whereas I very much want to have
