When at conferences and sprints, I often want to see what someone else is working on, or to let other people see what I am working on. Usually we end up pushing up to a shared server and using that as a way to exchange branches. However, this can be quite frustrating when […]

While browsing the log of one of my Bazaar branches, I noticed that the commit messages were being recorded as occurring in the +0800 time zone even though WA switched over to daylight savings.
Bazaar stores commit dates as a standard UNIX seconds since epoch value and a time zone offset in seconds. So the […]

In my previous entry, I mentioned that Andrew was actually publishing the contents of all his Bazaar branches with his rsync script, even though he was only advertising a single branch. Yesterday I had a need to actually do this, so I thought I’d detail how to do it.
As a refresher, a Bazaar repository […]

This article responds to some of the points in Andrew’s post about Pushing a bzr branch with rsync.
bzr rspush and shared repositories
First of all, to understand why bzr rspush refuses to operate on a non-standalone branch, it is worth looking at what it does:
Download the revision history of the remote branch, and check to see […]

One of the things we’ve been working on for Launchpad is good integration with Bazaar. Launchpad provides a way to register or host Bazaar branches, and nominate a Bazaar branch as representing a particular product series.
For each registered branch, there is a branch information page. This leads to a bit of confusion since […]

When outlining the use of team branches on Launchpad previously, I used the –create-prefix option when pushing the branch to sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net. This was to make sure the initial push would succeed, even if the /~username/product directory the branch would be created in didn’t exist.
To simplify things for users, we made a change to the […]

Over the weekend, I released gnome-gpg 0.5.0. The main features in this release is support for running without gnome-keyring-daemon (of course, you can’t save the passphrase in this mode), and to use the same keyring item name for the passphrase as Seahorse. The release can be downloaded here:

I also switched over from Arch […]

Earlier, David Allouche
described how to
host Bazaar branches on Launchpad. At the end, he alluded to the
ability to create branches that can be committed to by anyone on a
team. I’ll describe how this works here.
Launchpad Teams
Launchpad allows people to organise themseleves into teams. Most
of the things people can do in Launchpad can also […]
Have you wanted to play around with bzr but had nowhere to share your branches? You can now publish them through Launchpad. David Allouche provides the details.
In short, you can upload branches to sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/, and they will be published on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/.
I’ve been doing most JHBuild development in my bzr branch recently. If you have bzr 0.8rc1 installed, you can grab it here:
bzr branch http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/bzr/jhbuild/jhbuild.dev
I’ve been keeping a regular CVS import going at http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/bzr/jhbuild/jhbuild.cvs using Tailor, so changes people make to module sets in CVS make there way into the bzr branch. I’ve used […]
