====== Notes on Using Bazaar/Launchpad ======

===== New releases =====

  * Start from main overview page (click button to return if you lose your way). Click on series link e.g. 0.7, then below, click on Create Release (must be logged in)
  * Create milestone - name it something like 1.5.0
    * In the milestone summary add Downloads upwards.
    * Select today's date.
  * Click on Create Release.
  * In Release Notes add Downloads upwards (again).
  * In changelog, the new features and bug fixes only (no downloads or final summary line)
  * From main project>Overview, Make an announcement
    * headline e.g. 1.4.4 Mac users can export as PDF (& PNG depending on version of OS X)
    * summary - the standard notes about the release (not download, bug fix, or single summary line stuff)

  * Make previous release Inactive
  * If making a new series, make the series an active development series not the previous series. You should see it at the top of the full history graph if successful.

===== New series =====

  * Make sure you are logged in ;-)
  * Main page has a graph of existing series, below which is a button for registering a new series
  * Search for main to find branch to link to


===== Useful Commands =====

bzr add #Add specified files or directories.

bzr status

bzr diff

bzr remove # put copy in "SOFA/storage/sofa_main_on_hold" first.  Could use --keep but don't want confusion http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/user-reference/remove-help.html

bzr push # will use previous location

bzr ls -V - lists all versioned files (if any are missing just use add)

===== First time =====

==== Set up initial local repository ====

bzr init-repo sofa.repo #Create a shared repository to hold branches.

cd sofa.repo

bzr init sofa.main  #Create a shared repository to hold branches.

cd sofa.main

bzr add

bzr commit -m "Initial import"

==== Push from local to central repository ====

cd ~/projects/SOFA/sofastatistics/sofa.repo/sofa.main

bzr launchpad-login launchpad-p-s

bzr push lp:~launchpad-p-s/sofastatistics/main --use-existing-dir

NB if you have used a passphrase when setting up your private/public keys, you will need to supply it when asked - NOT your normal Ubuntu password :-)
