| [22:20] <kay_> hi, I have run 'bzr branch' on the emacs-24 repository but all I get is a .bzr directory | |
| [22:21] <LeoNerd> Maybe it doesn't have a checkout yet? | |
| [22:21] <kay_> do I type a checkout command? | |
| [22:21] <LeoNerd> I'd be tempted to | |
| [22:22] <kay_> do i just type 'bzr checkout' | |
| [22:22] <kay_> it says that its not a branch but that its a repository | |
| [22:22] <LeoNerd> Hmmm | |
| [22:22] <kay_> first time bzr user | |
| [22:23] <LeoNerd> Oh, oops; you might have branched from the repository.. which probably ought to fail but might have had an empty branch in it for some reason | |
| [22:23] <LeoNerd> A repo is not a branch; a repo -contains- branches. | |
| [22:24] <kay_> I followed the instructions on the website for emacs development, so i have no idea where to go from here | |
| [22:25] <LeoNerd> What instructions? | |
| [22:25] <kay_> on http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/ | |
| [22:26] <kay_> it says I can access the main repository with 'bzr branch bzr://bzr.sv.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-24' | |
| [22:27] <LeoNerd> So, you have an emacs-24 directory? | |
| [22:28] <kay_> yes | |
| [22:28] <LeoNerd> And inside that is ... just the .bzr and nothing else? | |
| [22:28] <kay_> its possible, also, that the bzr command crapped out | |
| [22:29] <LeoNerd> Ah.. well, it would hopefully have printed some long error message if it did so | |
| [22:29] <LeoNerd> ... though beware that OOM-killer is silent ;) check $? afterwards | |
| [22:29] <kay_> i backgrounded it and closed the terminal it was in | |
| [22:29] <kay_> silly me | |
| [22:29] <LeoNerd> Ah. :) Well don't do that. Maybe use 'screen' or similar if you want to detach and resume again later | |
| [22:30] <kay_> i needed to kill X because I was running in a VM with 512mb ram | |
| [22:30] <kay_> but yeah, i didn't think it would take 30 minutes ro run | |
| [22:30] <kay_> re-running it now from better instructions | |
| [22:32] <kay_> this crap literally takes forever | |
