Hi,
The following instructions are incorrect in the screenshot attached.
What should I do to obtain the source code for the inkscape source code?
Thanks!

Hi,
The easiest way is to use bzr directly:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar
$ bzr branch lp:inkscape

Hi everyone,
if something on the website is wrong, it would be good if someone could
help with correcting it (I think git and bzr are supposed to be
compatible, partially, so it *should* work somehow). We don't want to
confuse potential new developers.
Can someone test the instructions and help us provide better info?
The page Shyamal Chandra was referring to is:
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/
It is also listed on the new Community To-Do list at
https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/to-do-list/
Thank you,
kind regards,
Maren

Hi,
On my system (debian testing) at least, the git-bzr-ng package does not exist anymore.
(probably per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742415 )
However, "man git-remote-bzr" indicates there is a way to simply do
$ git clone bzr::lp:inkscape
to "transparently clone, fetch and push to and from Bazaar repositories as if they
were Git ones."

Hi Marc,
thank you for your research :)
Is anyone using the repo with git and could provide all corresponding
commands for this page then:
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/using-git-repositories/
(and tell if they really work, too?)
I'd be happy to put in the replacements, if someone could give them to
me, and also checks that I got it right before I publish - or to give
someone edit permissions so he/she can make the corrections directly,
without a complicating detour via me ;).
Kind regards,
Maren

I just tried it, and there is not much to say, simply "use git as usual
(pull/add/commit/push)". (No change to do, except that when you have to specify a
remote location, instead of "lp:whatever" use "bzr::lp:whatever" to
use bzr.
However, there seem to be a bug which prevents from creating personal branches on
launchpad so i could not find the equivalent of "git bzr push
lp:~[your-launchpad-username]/inkscape/[new_branch_name]", but if the branch already
exists, it works fine.

Thanks again, Marc :)
So, if I understand you correctly, you think we should unpublish that
whole outdated page about Using git (with the non-available git-bzr-ng,
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/using-git-repositories/), and just
replace that sentence on the
https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started/ page by the
instructions and the caveat above (plus a link to git documentation,
probably), assuming that someone who explicitly wants to use git already
knows about it?
Do you have a link to a corresponding bug report for the user branch
creation (so others will be able to follow up on it)?
Thank you for your help,

This one, probably :

I'll add my two cents as the original author.
The page is still useful, the package needs to be changed from
git-bzr-ng to just git-bzr which is still available in Ubuntu (utopic)
and provides the desired output.
As stated, the instructions should say "git clone bar::lp:inkscape" etc
etc and include the caveate about creating new branches on launchpad.
It's also be nice to mention a polite request for inkscape not to end up
on github as it can be confusing for new developers who look to github
first and may think development happens there.
