How expansive "bzr update" for Emacs trunk?

How expansive "bzr update" for Emacs trunk?

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

   $ cat ~/devel/emacs/trunk/.bzr/branch/branch.conf
parent_location = http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/
submit_branch = http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/
bound_location = http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/
bound = True

I mark that "bzr update" take about 1 MiB for
"Finding Revisions" and a lot MiB
(5.5 MiB between yesterday and today).

Is really bzr so dumb that require a lot of network traffic?
Or into Emacs sources go a lot of commit?

I restricted with 3G or GPRS Internet connection.
One time a month commit I get about 5 hours
(~7 KiB/sec download speed)!

Is bzr use plain (uncompressed) schema for
propagating changes?

So may be good switch to ssh protocol and set compression?

I also heir (but sorry if not correct) that bzr
developed for local network connection.
And for example if exist new changes it send
last 50 changeset even new only 1!

Yes, accessing a bzr repository via http produces extremely much network
traffic.

Oh, that must be really awful.

Yes, it's planned to switch the Emacs repository to a smart server using
ssh access.  See the following tickets on savannah and the discussion:

  https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107077
  https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?107143
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2010-03/msg00011.html

But the latest traffic seems to be in March, so I have no clue about the
current status...

Thanks for replay. A read tickets.

This ticket valuable for developer.

I need only read access and for me sftp done job as
python through paramiko use /bin/ssh
and I can set:

   $ cat ~/.ssh/config
Compression yes
CompressionLevel 8

But as I understand I have no access through sftp protocol
as I am not a Emacs developer. About this written at

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs

Is there exist a way to use sftp, this save me
a lot of time to wait update?

I try:

   $ bzr up sftp://gavenkoa@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/
Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Unable to connect to SSH host bzr.savannah.gnu.org; EOF 
during negotiation
   $ bzr up sftp://gavenkoa@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/emacs/trunk
Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Unable to connect to SSH host bzr.savannah.gnu.org; EOF 
during negotiation

In this case you may try

git clone git://repo.or.cz/emacs.git

an emacs-clone at a git-repo, updated quite often.

Should be faster.

Thanks. I try use git mirror. Also I found wiki link:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsFromGit

There are two other mirror links.

Interesting that wiki state that git mirror occupy ~300 MiB.
My local bzr 2.0 repo occupy:

   $ du -s -m emacs/.bzr
260	emacs/.bzr
   $ du -s -m emacs/trunk/.bzr
1	emacs/trunk/.bzr

So we may be think that bzr storage more efficient.

But also I sadly notice that such simple operation as
getting log or annotate for trunk files take about 15-20 seconds!

May be because large history.

My experience with Mercurial and
server side SVN with up to 30.000 commits take
less then 1-2 sec. for this operations.

the first looks like "about 300 MB", as emacs-wiki says, the second just 
like empty.

should be faster with git too

The emacs developers don't have sftp access, too.

If you only want to have an up-to-date emacs, I'd pull from the Git
mirror as Andreas suggested.

A partial solution, if you don't need to commit is to use launchpad's
mirror of the Emacs repository.  To get the bzr+ssh access (that allows
you to use the smart server) you'll have to actually have a launchpad
account (and I think you need to upload a public ssh key), but it is a
pretty big improvement over the dumb bzr server that is available from
savannah.

If signing up for launchpad.net is problematic then email me privately
(the email address will work) and I will send you a link to a bzr mirror
of the repository that I maintain that uses the straight bzr:// protocol
and doesn't require any authentication.

Alternatively there is a git mirror at:

http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git

I hope this is helpful.
