Hi ,all

I can not use the following command to bzr the emacs repos:
bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk

The bzr eat up so many memory and take my whole system down.

my bzr version is :
bzr --version
Bazaar (bzr) 2.0.4
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.6.4
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.6
  Platform:
Linux-2.6.32-ARCH-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_Processor_3200+-with-glibc2.2.5
  bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bzrlib
  Bazaar configuration: /home/wsw/.bazaar
  Bazaar log file: /home/wsw/.bzr.log

Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot.

You forgot one key piece of information: how much memory your system
has?

bzr 2.0.4 will use approx. 1GB of resident memory while branching emacs
with http. Branching from Launchpad with the bzr+ssh protocol requires
about 600MB. For this, you must create an account on Launcpad, import a
public ssh key there and:

bzr lp-login your-launchpad-username
bzr branch lp:emacs

IIRC, bzr 2.1 (which is in RC stage) requires a few hundreds of MB less.

OTOH, some people published tarballs of the emacs `trunk' branch. Links
to them are here on the ml.

Oh, My system is old. It has just 512M memory.

I think it may be useful to add links to these tarballs to the wiki page
BzrForEmacsDevs.  Hunting for information in the mailing list archives
is "mostly ok", but it's tedious and error prone.

FWIW, I am now uploading a tarball of my /bzr/emacs trunk copy at:

    http://members.hellug.gr/keramida/emacs/emacs-trunk.tar.gz

The upload will take more than an hour (my DSL connection at home is
really crappy at uploading stuff), but its size and checksum for anyone
who wants to verify it are:

    keramida@kobe:/bzr$ ls -l emacs*gz
    -rw-rw-r--  1 keramida  wheel  - 311658949 Feb  3 04:40 emacs-trunk.tar.gz

    keramida@kobe:/bzr$ md5 *gz ; sha256 *gz
    MD5 (emacs-trunk.tar.gz) = 0216237b204006a30e9a443fa0988c31
    SHA256 (emacs-trunk.tar.gz) = 6b5e4e1292795c34fb5719ed347ccfb6064b37f59a3815bfd897b42ecae24663

This copy of trunk was updated earlier today (less than an hour ago),
and it includes a toplevel 'emacs/' directory initialiazed with:

    bzr init-repo --2a emacs/

and a local 'trunk/' branch initialized with --no-tree that I use to
keep a "clean" local mirror of the Emacs trunk.

I cannot promise to keep the tarball at members.hellug.gr updated *very*
often, but it's probably worth pointing at this and other places from
BzrForEmacsDevs at least for people who cannot pull the _full_ branch
over bzr+http.

If you just want to keep up-to-date with the latest Emacs, then
personally I see no problem with using either:

bzr checkout --lightweight http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk

or

bzr branch --stacked http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk

When I tried, both of these were fairly quick (~ few minutes), and
seemed to use not much more than 250MB resident memory.

It works. Thanks.
