Thanks to some pointers from Jonathan Lange I have updated the
instructions at:
http://bzr.notengoamigos.org/
for using this repository to strongly emphasize getting the tarball of
the shared repository. If you really want to play with this your first
step should almost certainly be:
wget -c http://bzr.notengoamigos.org/emacs.tar.gz
(or get the lzma compressed version if you'd like). There are more
instructions on the web site.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that the process that I
use to update the repository from CVS apparently shifts some of the
packs around. Unless you have a very fast connection and you time
things just right you are very likely to end up in a situation where
your client bzr is looking for pack files that have moved on my server.
This will cause the client to abort. That's not a big deal if you are
just trying to pull down the last 20 changesets or so. Issuing another
"bzr pull" will fix the problem in a couple of seconds. If you are 95%
of the way through pulling down the 97000 or so changesets in the trunk,
then you'll probably be unhappy. There probably is a better way to
update the repository so that this doesn't happen, but I am still
figuring some of this stuff out :).
The second reason is that you can't really evaluate the usefulness of
Bazaar without using a shared repository.
