Setting Up A Shared Bazaar Repository

Currently I'm using a Decentralized Shared Mainline Repository. Here's my recipe...

You will of course need a server that's accessible to everyone.

Create a group for project.

$> groupadd projectname

Create an login for each of the users who will have commit access to the shared mainline.

$> adduser --ingroup projectname username

Create a directory for the repostitory inside the web servers document root

$> mkdir /var/bzr/projectname

Set the project folders group to the project groups name

$> chown :projectname /var/bzr/projectname

Set the project folders permissions

$> chmod ug+rwx,g+s,o+rx,o-w projectname

Now you can push updates

$> bzr push bzr+ssh://hostname/var/bzr/projectname

If you need to provide anonymous access to the repository one way would be to serve it with Apache.

Alias /bzr "/var/bzr"
<Directory "/var/bzr">
 Options +Indexes +MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Directory>

This would allow you to do something like this

$> bzr branch http://hostname/bzr/projectname
