VCS switched from arch to bzr
Dear Friends,
I'm happy to announce that the apt development team switched from
arch/tla/baz to "bzr" (debian package bzr) for apt and python-apt. All
of the arch history and branches where importet. The new tree is
available at:
http://people.debian.org/~mvo/bzr/
for the debian packages.
For the ubuntu packages and the various feature/experimental branches
it is available here:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/bzr/apt
and
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/bzr/python-apt
Bzr is a relatively new distributed VCS that is much easier to use
than arch. Here is a quick tutorial:
$ bzr get http://people.debian.org/~mvo/bzr/apt/apt--debian-sid/
[fetches a big repository that includes all the cvs/arch history]
$ cd apt--debian-sid
[hack away]
$ bzr diff
$ bzr commit
[this will create a branch implicitely]
$ bzr push login@machine:~/public_html/bzr/apt--mystuff
[make sure you have bzrtools and rsync installed]
to track changes in the mainline do:
$ bzr merge
[it will automatically use the location you branched off]
$ bzr commit
[if you are happy with the change that where merged]
$ bzr push
[it will remember your default push location]
The commands you would except from a vcs (add, mv, status, log) will
work as expected. More information about bzr can be found at:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/
and a very nice quick tutorial is available here:

Cheers,
Michael
