This isn't so much a bug as a documentation request: I can't figure out if it is possible to fetch gsrc using only bzr's http fetching method.
The fine manual for BZR documents the setting of http_proxy and https_proxy to instruct BZR to go through a proxy in its fetching. But there's apparently some missing piece of magic to signal BZR differently. Webpage says do: $ bzr checkout bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc bzr: ERROR: Connection error: failed to connect to bzr.savannah.gnu.org:4155: Connection timed out OK, that's OK, I have cntlm all working and bzr supports http. $ echo $http_proxy http://127.0.0.1:3128/ Test it: $ wget www.google.com --2015-04-14 16:18:10-- http://www.google.com/ Connecting to 127.0.0.1:3128... connected. Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 19958 (19K) [text/html] Saving to: "index.html" 100%[=====================================================================>] 19,958 --.-K/s in 0.08s 2015-04-14 16:18:11 (244 KB/s) - "index.html" saved [19958/19958] Great, now just try to ask bzr for it: $ bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/";. No space? $ bzr checkout http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc/";. Googling, suggested "nosmart+', trying it: $ bzr checkout nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/gsrc/";. $ bzr checkout nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/ gsrc bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "nosmart+http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gsrc/trunk/";. Maybe a different name is needed when http accessing? Does savannah.gnu.org not support http access to the BZR repositories? I realize that this could be considered to be a bzr issue not gsrc issue, but all the search results seem to indicate that the above would work fo some canonical BZR setup. Any suggestions very welcome. Eric Eric M.
