I'm happy to write up a wiki page describing how to use SVK to set up your own mirror of the Python SVN. However, trying it now, the initial setup seems very slow: SVK is retrieving each of 54165 revisions and it'll probably take over an hour to complete. I'm retrying it now by mirroring only the trunk to see if that's any faster, but this seems like an impediment -- if you want to develop a bugfix of sufficient complexity to need a DVCS, and the first step required takes over an hour, that may dissipate your forward motion. (Of course, I don't know how long a checkout of a hypothetical Bazaar repository would take; maybe it's not any faster.) --amk _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
