BZR error!

This morning 'bzr up' fails:

Up to a few hours ago (this night, rev. 99249) it worked just fine (I

Hm, I did a "bzr pull" right now, and it worked fine, although it
downloaded more than 150MB!!!

BTW, what's the difference between pull and update?  Is "bzr update" a
pull without commit followed by a merge with local modifications, and
"bzr pull" a pull with direct commit?

Likely you're using the sftp transport, while Angelo is using http.
Perhaps the 150 MB choke the http transport.

I don't think so. The error message appears after less than 2 seconds
for me.

Right.

That would be a bug or savannah config problem, right?

Anyway, I still don't get where those 150MB come from.  Checking
.bzr/repositories/packs, the only one with a modification time from
today has only 27 MB.  The indices in .bzr/repositories/packs that were
modified with the last pull sum up to only about 300KB.

The first time (a few days ago), I did

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

and than, always:

cd emacs-trunk
bzr up

It worked just fine (I did several builds) up to this morning. The trunk 
size is

$ du -s emacs-trunk
110M

which is the same I got with 'cvs up...'

Angelo.

May be related to the fact that trunk is a symlink now.  As a workaround
you can use the emacs-23 branch instead.

This means I have to re-download the full trunk? and how?

WHAT???

Sorry I do not know anything of branch.conf. I want, if possible, only 
to download development source, build, test and report if I find 
problems. With CVS this was simple:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co -P emacs

and

cd emacs
cvs up -dP

Now it is much complicated!

Since this morning the following do not work any more and produce same 
errors:

$ bzr branch --stacked http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk
bzr: ERROR: Transport error: Server refuses to fulfill the request (403 
Forbidden) for http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/.bzr/branch-format

$ bzr checkout --lightweight http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk 
emacs-trunk
bzr: ERROR: Transport error: Server refuses to fulfill the request (403 
Forbidden) for http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/.bzr/branch-format

YOU need to say people how to get in simple way Emacs dev. source, not 
how to complicate their life. I need source only to build etc. not to 
became e developer!

At least your wiki page should be rewritten!

Perhaps you should set up an rsync so that who needs only source have a 
simple way to obtain it (TeXLive peolpe have, for example).


Thanks,
Angelo.

Hm, maybe making nightly snapshots available would be good.

Because SVN uses a central repository just like CVS does, and we wanted
to have a decentralized version control system, which are a bit more
complicated by their nature.  Anyway, the usage for users who just want
to have the bleeding edge version should be and is simple: bzr pull.
That this doesn't work currently seems to be a bug in the setup, which
will be fixed ASAP, I guess.

  bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs

and

  cd emacs
  bzr pull

does not seem "much more complicated". That it works right now or not
is unrelated, and just transitory (apparently it works now if you use
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/emacs-23).

Why do you use --lightweight?

Define "we". Developers have gained the possibility of having all the
tools of a VCS for their local developments. Search google for the
differences between centralized and distributed VCS.

Thanks, that worked.  But it downloaded 180 Megabyte of data for only

The question is rather, from a practical point of view: Why have
migrated to Bazaar and not to git?  Up to now, the whole issue is just
a political decision (which I really, really don't like) with ENDLESS
pain.

Endless pain? Most of the "pain" is apparently because of complexity,
and a cursory look at git's documentation shows that git is not the
cure for complexity, not by a long shot. I happen to like git, BTW, so
no need to try to convince me that it is good; but the sheer number of
options in each command just looks like a joke.

For me, the main pain right now, other than trying to decide the
appropriate workflows (which would happen with any dVCS), is slowness
accessing the repository; but that's not a flaw of Bazaar. Once the
Savannah admins switch us over to bzr+ssh, speed of access should stop
being a concern.

Indeed, I used them! Only that now they do not work any more. If it is 
transitory, I can wait: I have just flagged the problem.

Adding '--stacked' or '--lightweight', the tree I obtain has a size of 
110M, as with CVS. Without them it is almost 200M: it add something that 
to the end of build it is not useful.

> Define "we".

Oops, 'you developers'! Sorry!


For the sake of completeness, this work:

$ bzr checkout --lightweight 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/emacs/trunk emacs-trunk

cd emacs-trunk
bzr up

So, when thinks stop working, it's not that they fail, is that they
suddenly turn from "easy" to "complex". Curious.

It's a mystery to me why this hasn't been done from day one of Bazaar

Not so sure about what? That it is not a flaw of Bazaar? Perhaps it
could use sftp more efficiently, but I doubt that git over sftp would

Er, options are _optional_.  Most people don't use most of them...

You could start by following the repeated advice here about not using
--lightweight checkouts of the upstream branch. That extends to
--stacked branches too.

It was said here that the disk space you save with --lightweight has the
cost of long and slow operations across the 'net and loss of
independence. Now you are experiencing that effect.

Can someone confirm that this is the culprit?
That'd be kind of annoying, but the use of symlinks is not crucial, so
if that's the problem, we can revert to the previous setup.

It's common that http servers ignore symlinks for security reasons.
It's not even listed in <http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs>.

As I wrote earlier today in another thread, the branches on the trunk
were reorganized, I don't know by whom and why.  Perhaps this is the
reason for the humongous data size bzr needed to fetch.  But that's
just a guess.

The branches are all sharing the same repository, so it does not matter
where they are located or how they are named.

The reorganization is unrelated.  The 150MB is a side-effect of some
"minor" commits I made yesterday which don't even change any file.

Furthermore, the bazaar developers could be informed about that

I installed a change that "merges" some old branch (already merged,
really).  I.e. it only updates the merge meta-data.  But when you update
it ends up loading a whole bunch of large files to finally decide that
there's nothing to do.

I'm sure they're not interested: if you use the bzr+ssh access method
rather than sftp, it downloads less than a megabyte.

The bzr+ssh method would have downloaded about the same amount.

Hmm... it didn't for me (I use many machines, so I update my trunk
mirror via sftp and then the other mirrors from that one mirror via
bzr+ssh).
But of course, maybe something else I did earlier in those repositories
already downloaded the relevant data.

One of your merge commit merged the history of rmail-mbox-branch (225
revisions).  Since you did the merge you already had it locally, but
someone who didn't branch it previously needs to download it together
with this merge commit.

I doubt that the 225 revisions of rmail-mbox-branch plus the other
revisions merged into trunk require a 177 MB download from a smart
server. It would look like a very dumb server.

Are you using the http method or the sftp method?  The problem
discussed here is only relevant to the former, not to the latter.

Do you get it repeatedly?  (I.e., are you unable to get the sources?)

I haven't tried again.
I used Andreas' advice and checked out the emacs-23 branch.
I guess at some point I will try editing the bzr metadata to see if I
can update from trunk without going through the checkout again.
