Package: bzr Version: 0.11-1 Severity: normal bzr seems to deliberately eat my bandwidth. The following two invocations of bzr have been run in a row, after the $http_proxy and $HTTP_PROXY environment variables have been set up to point to a (working) squid proxy/cache. As you can see, there's no gain in using a cache:

According to the Squid documentation, this means that "The client issued a "no-cache" pragma, or some analogous cache control command along with the request. Thus, the cache has to refetch the object." Bzr is slow enough already, bypassing proxy-caches is not good. One could, with lots of goodwill, argue the case for initial branching, but re-fetching more than a megabyte afterwards for each bzr pull (one in each branch) is stretching it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-xen-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bzr depends on: ii python 2.4.4-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-celementtree 1.0.5-8 Light-weight toolkit for XML proce ii python-central 0.5.9 register and build utility for Pyt ii python2.4 2.4.4-1 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages bzr recommends: ii python-paramiko 1.5.2-0.1 make SSH2 connections with python ii python-pycurl 7.15.5-1 Python bindings to libcurl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
