support importing from 'bzr:' URLs

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Sourceforge provides access to its repositories over bzr://. It would be nice if Launchpad allowed mirrorring from these kinds of URLs.

Fixed in stable r14878 <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/14878>.

This works. However, the default port for the 'bzr' protocol (4155) seems to be filtered by a firewall somewhere. It does work for other ports (I've tested with port 8080).

I can see that the change is already in production: <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/94863640/vzeman79-log4cplus-trunk.log>. You are right though that the firewall is restricting the access. Is this going to be taken care of or shall I fill another bug report?

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

I'll follow an RT about opening this port.

I've filed an RT about opening the firewall ports, we're now waiting for
a reply on that.

Cheers,

It works now, thank you for the effort!

This patch isn't complete as while it allows importing a BZR branch, it doesn't yet allow mirror a bzr branch. There is obviously one more place in the code that needs to be changed, searching for the text "The external location where the Bazaar branch is hosted" in the code should assist with finding it I believe. I'll try and find it myself later to assist.

Mirrors have been replaced by imports. If you have an existing mirror, you'll need to create an import to replace it.

[Tim White (timwhite88)]

Thanks William. Do the imports still "mirror" like the mirrors did?

[William Grant (wgrant)]

Yup, the branch ends up exactly the same. It just uses the newer importer infrastructure, to reduce code and UI duplication and improve imports of very large branches. It's not possible to create new mirrors any more.
