Using the Bazaar Nightly PPA
The Bazaar Nightly PPA is a nightly build of the current trunk branch of bzr (after referred to as bzr.dev). In order to better help the Bazaar team, it's requested of the Launchpad team that they use this PPA. You can find the PPA at https://edge.launchpad.net/~bzr-nightly-ppa/+archive/ppa. Use the PPA by doing the following.
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bzr.list and add the following lines:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr-nightly-ppa/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr-nightly-ppa/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main #deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main #deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
2. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade This should upgrade your system bzr to the nightly build of bzr.
What to do if things go wrong
Sometimes things break in the PPA in such a manner that you can't get your work done. If this should happen, first, make sure that the breakage is expressed properly in the form of a bug. If there's already a bug, make sure to comment on it, and mark that the bug does affect you. Then, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bzr.list to look like the following:
#deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr-nightly-ppa/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main #deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr-nightly-ppa/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
Then, uninstall bzr from the nightly, and then apt-get clean. Then re-install bzr ensuring that you're downloading from the bzr ppa instead of the bzr-nightly ppa. Make sure to return to the bzr-nightly ppa when your bug is fixed.
