Using Bazaar

GUI clients

Here's a list of graphical Bazaar clients that Mixxx developers have tested:

Windows

Mac OS X

Linux

• Olive (bzr-gtk) - Looks promising but is god-awful slow on large directories like our src/ (Tested by Pegasus)

General procedure

1. Grab a personal copy (called a "branch") of the Mixxx trunk/branch you want to work on using bzr branch lp:mixxx for trunk or bzr branch lp:~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/release-1.6.2 for the 1.6.2 release branch. This copies the code to your local system.
2. Make changes to the code as desired. Every so often issue bzr commit -m 'log message' which will "commit" the changes to your local store, allowing you to review or revert later.
3. Register a new personal branch with Launchpad if you haven't already: https://code.launchpad.net/people/+me/+addbranch. You can create as many as you want, such as when working on different features.
4. When you're ready to share with others, or if you're doing lots of local commits and want to prevent losing data, issue bzr push which actually copies your local store to your personal LP-hosted branch.
