Attempting to install Bazaar, I go to the Leo docs (Chapter 1, Tracking the development version) and see: >First, you need to get Bazaar (bzr) from http://bazaar-vcs.org. For >windows users we recommend the standalone installer - the python >installer may have problems pushing to Launchpad. Being a newbie, I go with the recommendation of using the Windows standalone installer. That sounds simple. I shudder at reading, "the python installer MAY HAVE PROBLEMS..." A chill and cold sweat go down my spine. I flip a coin. Heads. Great -- I can skip problematic Python installers tonight. I downloaded the latest version, 2.1.1, from the above URL. >Plain bzr installer only contains the command line version, so you might >want to augment that with a friendly GUI - qbzr is recommended as it’s >the easiest one to install. It provides command like bzr qlog, bzr >qannotate etc. On running the setup, I accept all defaults and it automatically installs Bazaar Explorer. Great, thinks I, newer Bazaar installs already come with "a friendly GUI." Newbie friendly, I like it! I shouldn't have to worry about things called qbzr, qlog, qannotate -- whatever those are. I launch Bazaar Explorer and choose the Open Location option. I type in: lp:leo-editor It does its thing for several seconds, and then a new window opens that says, "This branch has no working tree. Latest revision is 3265." Bazaar waits patiently for me to do something next. We both have a good, long, blank stare at each other. I'm not sure what I should do, so I go back to the docs and read: "And that’s it! You can run leo/ core/leo.py directly." I don't see where to go to "run leo/core/leo.py directly." So I keep reading: "When you want to refresh the code with latest modifications from Launchpad, run bzr pull." Aha! Says I. I see a Pull icon/button in Bazaar Explorer. That must be what I need to do next! I click on it and it says, "Sorry, action not yet supported by current app_suite." There's a button for Details and when clicked it shows, "Profile name is: qbzr Action identifier is: pull" There's an icon/button called "All" that when I hover over it, it says, "Run an arbitrary Bazaar command." Aha! Says I. I'll try what the Leo docs say above: "run bzr pull." So I click on the All button and get a new window with focus set to "Command" where I can type something in. I type "pull" (without the quotes) and click OK. It gives me: ----- Run command: bzr pull bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "C:/". ----- So now I'm stuck. And I don't know why it's trying to use C:/, an illegal path, when it seems like it should be C:\. I can't seem to, simply, "run leo/core/leo.py directly" because I don't know what step does that in Bazaar Explorer. I can't get the latest modifications using Pull because I get an error, probably because I don't have something set up right, but I don't know what that might be. Are there any Bazaar Explorer 2.1 users out there who could help a poor Leo newbie get the latest development version before he pulls out his last hairs, and while he still only just =contemplates= drinking hard liquor? :DDD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
