I imported it.

In principle it should work with:
  bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gnash/branches/HEAD
but right now this doesn't seem to work.

I'll try again later in the day.

See the bzr page in project gnash at Savannah for more info.

No, Tim just said a new version was under work, and that it was
probably better to wait.

I tried configuring just HEAD (not the branches/tags/etc.) at
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/

Currently loggerhead needs a lot of time just to start acccepting
connections (possibly because it indexes the repository first) and
then accepted connections but didn't answer.

I'll investigate this later (gotta go).
