Jorge instant messaged me a few days ago saying that Bazaar-NG is ready for general use and that I should check it out. I didn’t understand the big deal, SVN did a great job of fixing problems with CVS and I am proficient in using both, why did I need a third? Jorge explained that Bazaar-NG (bzr for short, I think) is now called Bazaar2, and doesn’t require a server. Well, my thought is that CVS and SVN don’t really require servers either, but you just point them to a repository directory. This directory could be a local machine. Jorge’s next message was that you can just take a web site and make it versioned. It sounds to me like there is no repository directory. Interesting! Now this is definitely something different.
My next question was “Is there a TortoiseBzr so I can check it out on Windows?” Jorge’s justified response, “Jesus, Jay”. I laughed out loud and proceeded to explain the conversation to my wife, who immediately met me with a blank stare. I grumbed about how she now knows how I feel when she talks biology and genetics to me and her blank stare turned to an enraged anger stare at which point I ran away.
Oh, getting around to the point… Check out the new Bazaar (was ng, now 2). UBZ (Ubuntu Below Zero) is going on right now and it turns out TortoiseBzr is being discussed! http://bazaar.canonical.com/GraphicalUserInterface
