[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-154?page=comments#action_58070 ]
Mike Perham commented on SCM-154: --------------------------------- cvs and svn are usually already installed on any open source developer's machine. bzr is not. Thus it is bzr that really presents the first big hurdle for compilation. Perforce is available for free to open source projects but it is much tougher about licensing so I would agree it is best left as is. Nevertheless, any compilation prerequisite and why it is required should be documented with links to the necessary software on the maven scm site. > Bazaar tests should not assume bzr is installed > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-154 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-154 > Project: Maven SCM > Type: Bug > Components: maven-scm-provider-bazaar > Versions: 1.0-beta-3 > Reporter: Mike Perham > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.0-beta-3 > > > Bazaar breaks my SCM build because it assumes it is installed.
