Re: [bug-gsrc] Help with bzr access to GSRC

[carl hansen]

you said :

bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc

try this instead:

bzr checkout bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc 

ie not http:// but bzr://

This isn’t so much a bug as a documentation request: I can’t figure out if it is possible to fetch gsrc using only bzr’s http fetching method.

 

The fine manual for BZR documents the setting of http_proxy and https_proxy to instruct BZR to go through a proxy in its fetching.  But there’s apparently some missing piece of magic to signal BZR differently.

 

Webpage says do:

$ bzr checkout bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc

bzr: ERROR: Connection error: failed to connect to bzr.savannah.gnu.org:4155: Connection timed out

 

OK, that’s OK, I have cntlm all working and bzr supports http.

$ echo $http_proxy

http://127.0.0.1:3128/

 

Test it:

$ wget www.google.com

--2015-04-14 16:18:10--  http://www.google.com/

Connecting to 127.0.0.1:3128... connected.

Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Great, now just try to ask bzr for it:

 

$ bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/".

 

No space?

 

$ bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc/".

 

Googling, suggested “nosmart+’, trying it:

 

$ bzr checkout nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc/".

$ bzr checkout nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/".

 

Maybe a different name is needed when http accessing?  Does savannah.gnu.org not support http access to the BZR repositories? 

 

I realize that this could be considered to be a bzr issue not gsrc issue, but all the search results seem to indicate that the above would work fo some canonical BZR setup.

 

Any suggestions very welcome.
