[Pytables-users] Public PyTables repository

[Ivan V. i B. <iv...@ca...>]

Hi everybody,

We know some of you are missing life in the good ol' CVS repository of
PyTables in SourceForge.  Some time ago we migrated it to an in-house
repository which better fitted our needs.  Unfortunately, the repository
could not go public for several reasons, but we still offer `daily
snapshots of PyTables`_.

Then, some of you spend some time developing your own patches and
extensions of PyTables (and we are very happy and thankful for that!).
We want to help you with your development so that you can comfortably
work on your own and still keep up to date with current PyTables
development.

Because of that, we have set up a public `Bazaar-NG`_ repository
containing a living mirror of the trunk of PyTables development.  Since
Bazaar-NG is a *distributed* version control system, you will be able to
develop yourself (and publish your changes) with the full power of
version control, while keeping in sync with the day-to-day of PyTables
development.

To create your own development branch of PyTables, just run::

  $ bzr branch http://pytables.carabos.com/bzr/pytables

You will need a recent version of ``bzr``.  Please be patient, since
this operation takes *quite* a long time, but it only needs to be done
once.  From that point on, you own a fully-fledged repository for
working, commiting and whatever you like.  You can get the latest
changes from PyTables by issuing::

  $ bzr pull

or, if you have local changes::

  $ bzr merge

And that's all.  When your work is mature, we can merge it back into the
PyTables master repository (via your own repository).

We look forward to hearing your opinion on this.


PS:  The daily snapshots will still be available for people not doing
local development.
