Upgrading Bazaar Repository Format
Hello again, miss me?
We had talked about upgrading the Bazaar repository format as the 0.48 release went out the door, I'm thinking that branching is "good enough" for this. I'd like to upgrade to the '2a' format which requires everyone to be using Bazaar 1.16 or better (current is 2.1). I'll do this tomorrow night if there are no complaints.
What does this mean to you? Smaller repositories and faster operations with Bazaar.
What do you have to do? You can just grab an entirely new check out of the updated branch. Personally, I'd recommend just upgrading your local repos with the "bzr upgrade" command to save yourself some bandwidth. This does take a while, so I'd do it before bed.
What about other branches in LP? You probably want to upgrade them as well. If you look at the branch page (something like https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk ) you'll notice a "Upgrade this branch" button at the very bottom of page. Click that.
Any other questions or concerns?

So, in a nutshell, we broke Launchpad and it is working on getting fixed. Long version is that basically the repository was too big. Our knit based repo (old one) was about ~850MB (which is huge) and the new one is ~250MB. Which put us in a case where the migration went over the limits set for the upgrade process.
Sorry about the delay. I don't expect any data loss as a result, just a time sink.

Okay,
So as far as Bazaar is concerned, we should be all good now. The Launchpad web interface still says it's upgrading and that'll get fixed as well but there's no reason to not just start using it now. Again, sorry about the delay.
