Using Bazaar
Paul Eipper
I'm having some problems trying to setup a workflow with the bazaar
distributed version control.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
1) branch from cairoplot trunk on my local machine
2) bind the local branch to my launchpad account
3) have it so that if I do bzr update, it updates from trunk, and bzr
commit sends to launchpad
So far, I could make steps 1 and 2, but it seems it breaks bzr update,
since it stops looking at cairoplot trunk for some reason.
This is how I tried to do it:
bzr init
bzr branch lp:cairoplot
bzr branch cairoplot zigzag-plot
cd zigzag-plot
bzr push lp:~paul-eipper/cairoplot/zigzag-plot
bzr bind lp:~paul-eipper/cairoplot/zigzag-plot
Anyone could help me with that?

I talked to the bazaar guys at the IRC, and turns out what I had in
mind is not how it works, so this is how I'm using it now:
[intial config]
bzr init
bzr branch lp:cairoplot mybranch
bzr merge --remember lp:cairoplot
bzr push --remember lp:~mylogin/cairoplot/mybranch
[workflow]
bzr merge
(hack...hack...hack...)
bzr commit
bzr push
maybe someone finds this useful too :)
