Hi,

'pip install bzr' fails on recent RHEL8 like distro and in Python 3.8 environment in older distro. Bazaar is dead.

Will you continue supporting Bzr? (May be switching to now 'breezy' or brz tool)

Hi Vlad,

Breezy should work, so long as you symlink bzr to brz. We added explicit support to RBTools, but honestly wasn’t sure anyone was using the support with Review Board anymore.

We did some light testing a while back with Review Board, and have had (low-priority) plans to auto-detect and use Breezy. If you try it out and it fails to work correctly, we can for sure look into it.

Christian

Thanks, brz (breeze) works. Also it replaces bzr (creates symlink) if installed as rpm package.

The only problem I encountered is the search path used for 'bzr' binary. RB can find the executable in /bin/
but it can't in bin/ folder of virtualenv despite that RB itself works fine from the virtualenv.

Review Board uses the configured PATH for the location of any executables being run. You might have to SetEnv PATH (if using Apache) to point to the correct directory.
