So we have to compile them first.
Yes, there is indeed a problem with bzr-svn in that respect on windows. People are trying to improve the situation, though (at least one developer of bzr is a windows user, by which I mean he mainly uses windows, and bzr-svn is one of the top priority for obvious reasons). But the transition Gael talked about is not about everyone using bzr-svn, this would be overkill and a waste of ressources. The solution would be to have a bzr mirror of svn, hosted somewhere on scipy.org, so that we use bzr, on a bzr repository, e.g only the mirror system would need bzr-svn. > Beside this, I'm starting to use bazaar (in fact it's the successor of arch) > for a small project of mine hosted on launchpad.net, and it works great.

As a linux user, I don't see the point of a GUI for most tasks related to bzr :) I sometimes use bzr-gtk, though. On windows, it seems that qbzr is the most windows-friendly. I don't know the state of TortoiseBzr, but I will find out soon, since I have to set up a system to coordinate change at my lab, and I intend to test more thoroughly trac+bzr+TortoiseBzr.
