Hello, all. As you may have heard or noticed we had a data corruption in
bzr repository. We couldn't find for sure what caused it but we could
recover it, Robert Millan is running regular backups. But please be
careful in the future.
1) Don't use bzr-svn. The IDs won't match anyway so it's useless. I
removed bzr-svn altogether
2) Don't use bzr+ssh. Old daemon on savannah is one of possible vectors.
--2a format should block it but don't even try please. Use
sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/
<sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/trunk/grub>
3) Take precautions when handling your current branches. As the IDs
don't match the bzr trunk you need to migrate it anyway. If you have
small number of branches and history isn't important just create a patch
and apply it to new bzr branch of current trunk. If you have large
number of branches or no local copy contact me privately.
4) Regularly run "bzr check" on your repository
5) Sign your commits. For this add
create_signatures = always
to your bazaar.conf
This has double use: security and integrity.

Currentyl we haven't set up syncronisation between bzr and svn. Wait
further instructions before comitting to mainstream
