Hello,
I am trying to to create a branch of the bzr mirror for the current
Python Trunk 2.6 development so I can finish my work on Issue 2636. I
am not a core developer but am trying to create this branch so it can
be reviewed by a core developer I am working with. Because I develop
on multiple machines, I want to set up a central repository for my
branch database and would like to use Launchpad to host it. Python's
bzr archive is mirrored on launchpad via the bzr address lp
ython, so
that should be the parent branch. I can create a branch on 1 machine
locally, but I cannot upload (push) that branch onto launchpad, which
is preventing me from doing my development because I don't have access
to all machines at all times. I need to have one shared branch
between all my development platforms. So, I have tried and failed at
all the following:
1) Click the create branch button on the launchpad interface; this
creates an empty branch which cannot be populated.
2) Branch from lpython to a local install then branch from that then
try and upload to launchpad. But that means my branch is the child of
the child of the mainline-trunk, so merging is too complicated.
3) Branch directly onto launchpad via "bzr branch lpython bzr+ssh://
<name>@bazaar.launchpad.net/~<name>/python/<branch-name>". This
creates a NON-empty branch on Launchpad but I cannot check it out or
pull it. Also, it would not be created as a tree-less (--no-trees)
which is how it should be created.
4) I have tried to directly use my first branch from step 2 (from
lpython to my local disc) to push an instance onto launchpad, but
this creates an empty branch too, and as an empty branch it cannot be
checked out or pulled.
I know the type of Bazaar setup I want is the type specified in
Chapter 5 of the User Guild: decentralized, multi-platform, single- or
multiple-user. I just can't figure out how to do that with a branch
from python. Chapter 5 talks about setting up a new database with
init-repo and pushing new content, but I want to take a branch of an
existing database and push it to the public launchpad server. I just
can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I have bzr 1.3 and
1.3.1 and neither have succeeded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've totally lost an entire
weekend of development which I could have used to complete item 1 of
my issue and run gprof over the new engine. I really need help with
all this difficult administrative stuff so I can get back to
development and get things done in time for the June beta. PLEASE
HELP!
