Yeah, it should be real simple. Launchpad is tracking our svn at https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/mixxx/trunk; to switch over to using bzr+launchpad somebody just has to do $ bzr branch lp:~vcs-imports/mixxx/trunk mixxx-bzr $ bzr push mixxx-bzr lp:mixxx (lp:mixxx == https://code.launchpad.net/~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/trunk, there's an option on launchpad that lets you choose where shortcuts point) This is much faster than using bzr-svn since their tracked branch already has imported all the metadata and history (I'm pretty sure they are just running bzr-svn on their own servers to do this). Once we do that we can at our leisure go on https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/ and ask them to suspend svn imports since we shouldn't need them any more. -Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Mixxx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
