For example fetching from bzr for a second time failed with pieter's version, yet it worked fine with kfish's version. Also the online help is better. I cannot comment if kfish's fork is better than the other forks though, as I haven't tried them. Btw, the one kfish done is a bash script that also uses bzr-fastimport. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think it's a much better candidate for a package because of that. Best regards, Gonéri Le Bouder signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Ok, I just found out a wierd thing: Debian got bzr-fastimport 0.8.0~bzr181-1 Ubuntu got bzr-fastimport 0.0.1~bzr112-0ubuntu1 Both got the same maintainer 'Jelmer Vernooij' ! Now it's Ubuntu's bzr-fastimport package that I use, and it's working fine when I modified your patch by: s/bzr fast-export/bzr-fast-export I just tried Debian's bzr-fastimport now, and it seems that your *UNMODIFIED* patch was just the correct thing to make it work ! Btw, I am only testing import from bzr to git, as I want to convert some bzr repos to git. But I didn't test pushing a change from git back into bzr, which seems to be the Launchpad bug you mentioned earlier. I'm talking now with Ubuntu guys to sync bzr-fastimport from Debian. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I can't find bzr-fast-export. which package does it come from? based on the path to it in the original version containing fastimport, and the bzr-fastimport package providing "bzr fast-export", I made the assumption...but of course, I did notice that that didn't work. Was this a bad exception? What do I need to do to make this work? I can't remove my patch, because of course most users won't have ~/.bazaar/plugins/fastimport/exporters/bzr-fast-export.py and I don't, and have no clue where to get it.. -- _ Ryan Niebur ryanrya...@gmail.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hello, I found your git-bzr package on mentors. So I used it & I found a bug in the user-correct-paths patch you added: bzr fast-export does not work, so I replaced that with bzr-fast-export to work correctly. Anyways, when I checked the upstream site (at github), I found that the upstream mentioned in his last commit that he is no more interested in working on git-bzr. That's from the README: "NOTE: I really mean what I say here above -- I'm no longer interested in this program. Take it as it is, or look at one of the forks on github (there are two that have converted the script to bash, if you prefer that)." You can find the other forks at: http://github.com/pieter/git-bzr/network -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 (@ subkeys.pgp.net) GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
