[00:17] <ym1> I would like to know if there is a place where the installation/configuration of loggerhead is documented |
|
[00:18] <ym1> In fact I am looking for a bzr branch explorer |
|
[00:18] <ym1> Based on what I read on Internet it seems that loggerhead is the defacto standard for this |

[02:28] <GPHemsley> is there a way to convert an existing repository to use --no-trees? |
|
[02:30] <evarlast> yes, bzr remove-tree |
|
[03:36] <ryanakca> Could one have a ``safepoint'' commit that doesn't show up in the commit log, but only acts as an ``Oh !&^#%, why did I do that... at least I can revert to what I had 5 minutes ago instead of having to revert to the previous commit''... or should I just commit more often? |
|
[03:37] <ryanakca> Use case: When you're trying to fix something through trial and error |
|
[04:49] <spiv> ryanakca: well, you can commit and then later uncommit then commit again. |
|
[04:49] <spiv> ryanakca: But really, why not just keep the commit? |
|
[04:52] <ryanakca> spiv: well, if you're going by trial and error, you might endup with 3-4 ``safepoints'' that are absolute rubbish and have no use in a commit log, at least not in a public one :) |
|
[04:54] <spiv> ryanakca: maybe. They might not be totally worthless, and there isn't much harm from leaving them there. |
|
[04:54] <ryanakca> spiv: *nod* |
|
[04:55] <spiv> ryanakca: especially if this is happening on a branch, when the branch is merged to trunk the details of how that branch evolved aren't very prominent in the history. |
|
[04:56] <spiv> If you're working directly on trunk then that's a different matter, but then I'd argue you should be taking advantage of a DVCS and using branches instead :) |
|
[04:56] <spiv> You could even manage your experimental work on your branch as another branch, but that workflow is probably a bit too heavyweight for what you're after. |
|
[05:04] <ryanakca> spiv: well, I'm the only one working on it at the moment... but it will eventually end up being used in my school, and most likely other schools in my school board... |

[08:06] * thumper votes for default log to be short (no merge details) |
|
[08:07] <spiv> thumper: bzr alias log="log --short" |
|
[08:07] <thumper> spiv: yes I know# |
|
[08:07] <spiv> :) |
|
[08:07] <thumper> spiv: I'm thinking of all the new users |
|
[08:08] <thumper> all those people who go "gee bzr log is slow compared to xyz" |
|
[08:08] <spiv> "Won't somebody think of the newbies?" |
|
[08:08] <thumper> spiv: that way people can go "bzr log --merges" to show merges (or something) |
|
[08:08] <spiv> (Sunday afternoon perhaps not the best time to get a completely serious opinion from me) |
|
[08:09] <thumper> and they can take the hit of the graph sort or whatever |
|
[08:09] * thumper was reading traceback |
|
[08:10] <spiv> We don't get many people saying the log is slow (although we do get some). And arguably the solution there is to make it fast, not change the output. |
|
[08:11] <thumper> spiv: yeah, but one is easier and allows for better comparison of apples |
|
[08:11] <spiv> I do think the default log should make the existence of merges visible, so that the way merges are tracked is reasonably discoverable. |
|
[08:11] * thumper goes to make brownies |
|
[08:11] <spiv> Well, we're not trying to build a tool that's the same as $other_vcs, we're trying to build a better tool :) |
|
[08:11] <spiv> So I don't think that's automatically a good reason to change how we work. |
|
[08:12] <hiredman> a better tool that interoperates so I can pull stuff from github? |
|
[08:12] <spiv> Personally I use --line most of the time. |
|
[08:12] <thumper> I think someone should check to see who actually cares to see the merges by default |
|
[08:12] <thumper> spiv: I use --line too |
|
[08:12] <thumper> hiredman: that is in progress |
|
[08:13] * thumper really leaves now |
|
[08:13] <hiredman> I know |
|
[08:13] <hiredman> I am just being an asshole today |
|
[08:13] <spiv> And then "bzr viz" for more in-depth exploration of history, but not every user will have the bzr-gtk plugin (or the ability to install it). |

[16:01] <CaMason_> I installed extdiff earlier. Perhaps that's causing the issues? |
|
[16:11] <dash> I've got a large branch I've cloned from a remote source, and now i'm wishing I'd created a repository for it to go in. Is too late? Can I create a repo without having to re-fetch all that history? |

[16:17] <pbor> create a new repo and then fetch from the one you cloned locally |
|
[16:17] <dash> oh. of course :) |

[16:44] <dash> Hmm =/ |
|
[16:44] <dash> I am attempting to branch from an svn repo on sourceforge, using bzr-svn |
|
[16:45] <dash> and i'm consistently getting "Could not read response body: Connection reset by peer" after several minutes |
|
[16:45] <dash> is there something I can do to make bzr not give up so easily? :) |
|
[16:45] <jelmer> dash, it's the svn libraries that are giving up |
|
[16:45] <jelmer> dash, are you fetching over https? |
|
[16:45] <dash> jelmer: no. |
|
[16:46] <jelmer> your best bet is probably to wait until the sf svn servers are less heavily loaded |
|
[16:47] <dash> I suspect a contributing factor is that /trunk (which I am branching from) in this repository was moved from a different url in an early revision |
|
[16:47] <dash> different path, I mean |
|
[16:47] <jelmer> that shouldn't be relevant |
|
[16:47] <dash> well |
|
[16:47] <dash> it looks like bzr-svn does a lot of PROPFINDs for nonexistent paths |
|
[16:47] <dash> I didn't know if that mattered. |
|
[16:48] <jelmer> you mean it's actually getting 404's back? |
|
[16:48] <dash> yes |
|
[16:49] <jelmer> what's the URL you're trying to import? |
|
[16:49] <dash> http://posterita.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/posterita/trunk |
|
[16:51] <dash> so i'm seeing a lot of things like "PROPFIND /svnroot/posterita/trial/posterita" |
|
[16:51] <dash> to which 404s are given |
|
[16:52] <dash> I'm just guessing that this is making it take longer, so make it have more chance to disconnect :) |
|
[16:54] <jelmer> it doesn't ignore unexpected errors like that, I suspect that's all happening deep down in the svn libraries |
|
[16:55] <dash> right |
|
[17:22] <jelmer> dash, it seems to be working with the 0.5 branch for me, though it's very slow because of sf |
|
[17:23] <dash> aha, the secret version ;) |
|
[17:23] <dash> well i'm not in a hurry, I just want to get it eventually. |
|
[17:25] <dash> hmm if that were true I would just wait until 0.5 was released |
|
[17:26] <dash> I guess I am in a hurry, a little. |
|
[17:40] <dash> jelmer: so, think I should try 0.5? |

[21:11] <lifeless> Peng: I wonder if I could convince you to do me a favour? |
|
[21:11] <Peng_> lifeless: I dunno. What's the favor? :) |
|
[21:11] <lifeless> Peng: to decide on a good batch size, I need a graph with two measurements, for different batch sizes, and different project sizes |
|
[21:11] <lifeless> the measurements are memory peak, and time |
|
[21:12] <Peng_> I did that for a few different sizes on a copy of bzr.dev. |
|
[21:12] <lifeless> the axes are group_size and project_size |
|
[21:12] <lifeless> Peng_: yah, which I am thankful for, and is why I know I need to fix it |
|
[21:13] <lifeless> Peng_: but I don't currently know things like 'how bad is it at 1000 on openoffice' |
|
[21:13] <lifeless> Peng_: nor what the minima for bzr.dev is. |
|
[21:13] <Peng_> OpenOffice.org? I imagine that's "Peng's machine would die swapping" bad. :P |
|
[21:13] <lifeless> Peng_: so I'm thinking of a little script to reindex a branch several times with a different group size, and report the results in csv or similar output |
|
[21:14] <lifeless> Peng_: of course, I'll run this on a canonical datacentre machine |
|
[21:14] <lifeless> Peng_: the favour is to write the script |
|
[21:14] <Peng_> Ah. |
|
[21:15] <lifeless> then I can throw it at ooo, at mysql, at bzr, at bzrtools |
|
[21:16] <lifeless> Peng_: if you are interested this would be really useful. |
|
[21:18] <Peng_> I'm sure I could write some little hack of a script, but I dunno if you'd like it. :P |
|
[21:18] <Peng_> I guess it would need to be possible to set group_size. I just edited index.py a bunch of times. |
|
[21:19] <lifeless> Peng_: just has to work. Heck, I was considering a massive printf to replace the index.py file |
|
[21:19] <lifeless> Peng_: sed would probably be nicer :P |
|
[21:22] <Peng_> Or making it an attribute on Index objects that you could change from Python. |
|
[21:23] <lifeless> hi poolie |
|
[21:23] <lifeless> Peng_: sure. |
|
[21:23] <lifeless> Peng_: or even - shock - a global |
|
[21:24] <lifeless> so you don't have to get access to a specific index |
|
[21:25] <Peng_> Oh, different methods have different group_sizes. |
|
[21:26] <lifeless> yeah there are two |
|
[21:26] <lifeless> there is 'how many revisions', where the inventory text size will chew up memory |
|
[21:27] <lifeless> and there is 'how many file versions at once', where text sizes (isos!) will chew up memory |
|
[21:29] <Peng_> I've never changed it in _terms_for_file_terms. |
|
[21:29] <lifeless> sure |
|
[21:29] <lifeless> whats in my head is to not guess about what works well for users |
|
[21:29] <lifeless> but to graph it out, and choose the place that works best |
|
[21:30] <lifeless> the two group sizes are independent |
|
[21:30] <lifeless> well, not quite. |
|
[21:30] <Peng_> Well...do you want to test both, or just the _index_revisions one? |
|
[21:30] <lifeless> the file terms is capped by the index revisions one (can't index morefile changes than occured in a given set of revisions) |
|
[21:30] <lifeless> I'd start with the index revisions one, that should give plenty of data |
|
[21:31] <lifeless> though it may be confounded (a large index revisions one might use little memory, if the file terms one is driving the peak) |
|
[21:32] <mwhudson> does anyone have any recommendations for good conflict resolution tools? |
|
[21:33] <lifeless> guns |
|
[21:33] <lifeless> lots and lots of guns |
|
[21:33] <lifeless> It worked in the matrix. |
|
[21:33] <mwhudson> hmm |
|
[21:34] <mwhudson> i think i want meld and a much larger monitor |
|
[21:35] <bob2> sdiff/ediff in emacs is nice if you already use emacs |
|
[21:36] <mwhudson> ediff confuses me a bit |
|
[21:36] <mwhudson> what's sdiff? |
|
[21:36] <mwhudson> i think the problem is that one branch has moved things around and the other has made small edits to the things being moved |
|
[21:37] <bob2> simple mode that highlights in-file conflicts, with some keybindings to pick one or the other or both for each hunk |
|
[21:38] <bob2> ah, out of that league, then |
|

|
[22:44] <Peng_> lifeless: OK, I wrote an evil little script for the bzr-search thing. I hope you weren't joking about running "sed" over index.py. ;) |
|
[22:44] <Peng_> lifeless: Also, if it gets interrupted, things will probably be left in a horrible mess. |
|
[22:44] <mathrick> hmm, does anyone here know (and is willing to explain) the difference between a transplant and a normal merge, or do I need to pester #hg? |
|
[22:46] <Peng_> mathrick: AIUI, transplants can cherrypick, but it'll create a different revision with different revids and parents and whatever. |
|
[22:46] <Peng_> (if we're talking about hg) |
|
[23:00] <mathrick> Peng_: hmm, I'll guess I'll just ask the hg guys then |
|
[23:02] <Peng_> Good idea. :) |
|
[23:14] <lifeless> Peng_: thanks! |
|
[23:15] <lifeless> poolie: I need to shoot off to the doctors too today, I forgot to mention it in all the kufuffle |
|
[23:16] <mathrick> any idea how hard it'd be to implement "add-on branches" (as mentioned in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bazaar/2008q4/050022.html )? It strikes me as something you'd really want to have to keep your distro work in sync with upstream |
|
[23:16] <mathrick> or is there something I'm not seeing that makes it not a good / redundant idea? |
|
[23:19] <Peng_> lifeless: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/YkaM3FCdH5ILeNUOlV0h/ -- did I mention that it's an evil dirty hack and you probably won't like it? :) |
|
[23:19] * Peng_ is trying to lower expectations as much as possible. |
|
[23:19] <poolie> mathrick: it's probably not technically super hard, more a matter of deciding how you want it to work |
|
[23:19] <poolie> robert's idea of having marks of files or regions would probably be good |
|
[23:20] <mathrick> poolie: oh, link? |
|
[23:20] <mathrick> also, I was thinking about strands of development a'la threads in loom |
|
[23:20] <mathrick> just with the opposite effect on your working area |
|
[23:20] <lifeless> mathrick: using a loom and cherrypicking down would do it |
|
[23:21] <mathrick> lifeless: could you elaborate? I tried to use loom, but decided it does exactly what I don't want with the history when I change threads |
|
[23:21] <lifeless> mathrick: well the root problem you have is that its impossible to do a full merge/push from 'development' to 'mainline' *excluding data*. |
|
[23:21] <mathrick> yes |
|
[23:21] <lifeless> full merge/push always include everything committed |
|
[23:22] <lifeless> so you have to cherrypick repeated - do merges specifying paths to merge, or specific revisions |
|
[23:23] <mathrick> yup |
|
[23:25] <mathrick> I could do it using loom by hand, but it'd require me to switch between threads to get "development" and "testing" views all the time, which is a pain |
|
[23:25] <lifeless> Peng_: sweet |
|
[23:25] <mathrick> ie. I couldn't actually run any code when in development thread, and I couldn't edit any when in testing thread |
|
[23:26] <lifeless> mathrick: I don't understand why you couldn't run code |
|
[23:26] <mathrick> lifeless: sec, lemme sketch that |
|
[23:33] <mathrick> lifeless: http://pastebin.com/m23f854c8 |
|
[23:37] <lifeless> mathrick: edit and commit in testing |
|
[23:37] <mathrick> lifeless: but then the changes will be only visible in testing, which means the pushes won't see them. They will be treated as if they were my local conf changes |
|
[23:37] <lifeless> mathrick: when you are done, you can go to main, merge -r testing path1 path2 |
|
[23:38] <mathrick> hmm, lemme parse that |
|
[23:38] <mathrick> what's path1 and path2? |
|
[23:38] <lifeless> mathrick: you have to cherry pick testing to main, regardless of the toolchain you use, for your stated desire |
|
[23:38] <lifeless> paths that you want to merge within the branch |
|
[23:38] <lifeless> another way of spelling it is |
|
[23:38] <lifeless> switch main; merge -r thread:testing |
|
[23:38] <lifeless> bzr revert --forget-merges |
|
[23:39] <lifeless> bzr revert server.conf |
|
[23:39] <lifeless> bzr commit -m 'whatever' |
|
[23:39] <lifeless> mathrick: have you considered 'shelve' though? |
|
[23:39] <mathrick> right, but that's exactly what I wanted to avoid. It's heaps of manual work, and if I forget it only once, I have unwanted commits in the mainline I have to deal with |
|
[23:40] <mathrick> hence the desire to have a tool which keeps track of what I want and don't want to merge for me |
|
[23:41] <mathrick> loom is very nice for when you only merge downstream, but it fails to enable a nice workflow for pushes to the upstream without polluting them with distro patches |
|
[23:41] <lifeless> mathrick: so, loom isn't finished; I think this would be great to have streamlined in loom |
|
[23:41] <lifeless> there are missing components in bzr core to do a *great* job, but a servicable one should be doable |
|
[23:42] <mathrick> lifeless: right, I'd love to have it in loom, although it'd really turn it upside down in some regards |
|
[23:42] <lifeless> the current theory is that you would keep one or more threads for 'never send upstream' |
|
[23:42] <lifeless> as for how you do the commits, I'd like a commit like 'commit -t main' |
|
[23:42] <lifeless> to commit a change to a specific thread |
|
[23:43] <mathrick> right |
|
[23:43] <lifeless> it probably would want to merge-it-up on the fly |
|
[23:43] <mathrick> what does merge-it-up mean? |
|
[23:44] <mathrick> now, for something completely different, I have a repo that bzr serve completely dies on -- it uses 500+ MB RAM, then dies with some exceptions when clients try to access the repo. How do I debug it? |
|
[23:44] <lifeless> merge each thread to the one above, so that the change does not appear as a change any more |
|
[23:44] <mathrick> I guess I'll start for finding 1.9 debs for intrepid |
|
[23:45] <lifeless> mathrick: well, firstly, newer bzr has fixed some memory issues from 1.6/1.7/1.8 |
|
[23:45] <lifeless> mathrick: file a bug with the exceptions though |
|
[23:46] <mathrick> lifeless: you mean before I upgrade to 1.9? |
|
[23:46] <lifeless> yah |
|
[23:46] <mathrick> ok |
|
[23:46] <lifeless> if the server side is dying |
|
[23:46] <lifeless> (and the server is already running 1.9) |
|
[23:46] <mathrick> no, that's the 1.6 |
|
[23:46] <lifeless> upgrade the server first then |
|
[23:46] <mathrick> I'm trying to serve from my machine |
|
[23:47] <lifeless> there are debs in the bzr ppa |
|
[23:53] <mathrick> oh, interesting |
|
[23:53] <mathrick> it dies right away now |
|
[23:54] <mathrick> http://pastebin.com/d73b4f039 |

[23:55] <lifeless> mathrick: ugh |
|
[23:55] <lifeless> mathrick: uhm, can you run with BZR_PDB=1 |

[23:55] <mathrick> sure |

[23:56] <mathrick> ('::', 4155, 0, 0) |
|
[23:56] <mathrick> humm |
|
[23:56] <lifeless> I'd certainly start by filing a bug, but it does look ... odd |
|
[23:56] <mathrick> it's getting an ipv6 socket? |
|
[23:57] <lifeless> yeah that would fit |
|
[23:57] <lifeless> definitely file that bug |
|
[23:57] <mathrick> will do |
|
[23:57] <mathrick> still, it'd be useful if I could serve in the meantime :) |
|
[23:59] <lifeless> comment out that line, or just print the _sockname, rather than prettyising it |
|
[23:59] <lifeless> e.g. |
|
[23:59] <lifeless> return "%s" % self._sockname |
|
