Rebuilding the Emacs Bazaar repository, for real this time.

Rebuilding the Emacs Bazaar repository, for real this time.

[Karl Fogel]

Jason, Andreas, ready for one more round, hopefully the final one?

I've filed a request [1] at Savannah to install Bazaar 1.17, so that
Savannah Loggerhead (and bzr smart-server if we need it) will support
the Bazaar "2a" format.

Jason, can you create a 2a repository at notengoamigos.org that we can
test?  Unless we discover some horrible problem, I think the branches
you create there will become the ones we actually switch to (i.e., your
trunk will become the new master, assuming we keep it up-to-date).

Andreas, assuming your git repository is up-to-date, I'm not sure
anything here needs your attention; just CC'ing in case you know
something I don't.

I've updated http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/EmacsBzrSwitchover and
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/BzrForEmacsDevs accordingly.  I will
be going over the switchover task list and doing as much as I can to
help the Savannah admins, including dealing with [2].

Usually I update it once a day, but I can try to do it more often if
required.

Btw., if there is any part of the history that needs fixing please tell
me so that this can be done before the conversion to bzr.  For example,
if there is any history outside of the CVS repo that should be added to
the tree.

Actually, I'd rather first try out the repository for a few days, so it
doesn't matter if that repository is out-of-date when we install it, but
it will be out-of-date when we decide "yes, it's OK".
IOW, a new conversion will be needed afterwards.

Well, I don't know if we'll need a whole new conversion -- hopefully we
can just bring in the necessary changes to get it up-to-date, when the
time comes.  But either way, the first thing to do is get a conversion
(thank you, Jason) and test it.

Going okay?  (I know it can take a while...)

Meanwhile:

I've updated https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106951 with news
that we should have a bzr 1.17 backport to install on the Savannah
servers soon (thanks to Sylvain Beucler for pointing out that that's how
to get the upgrade done).

I'm looking at https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?106531,
although I'm not sure that a fix is absolutely required there, since
limiting diff size by line is an okay proxy for limiting it by byte in
most situations.
