Add instruction to install qbzr in order to make use of "bzr qlog"

[Antonio Rosales]

On
http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-intro.html
it states:
{{{
$ cd kdetoys
$ bzr qlog
}}}

Suggestion:
bzr qlogs requires that
http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/QBzr
be installed. Suggestion would be to add the command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bzr/ppa

So the instruction would look like:
{{{
$ cd kdetoys
$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bzr/ppa
$ bzr qlog
}}}

I'll work on proposing a fix.

-Thanks,

Why suggest adding the PPA? It's availiable in the normal archive. In fact, it is the same version in the PPA as is in 12.10 release.

Thanks for working on this.

Thanks for the reply. Apologies for the in proper communication. I'll try to clarify. The Ubuntu Packaging Guide does an excellent job of bringing a prospective contributer up to speed by giving a guided "cookbook" example. As I was stepping through this cookbook working on packaging I made notes on areas where the cookbook left out key ingredients or instructions. This bug was filed in hopes to make the cookbook experience even better.

My approach was to follow the instructions verbatim. For 12.10 I noticed the instruction:

$ cd kdetoys
$ bzr qlog

actually needed to add the ppa to take advantage of the command "bzr qlog." Perhaps this was changed since I followed the page, however when I walked through this page on a default 12.10 install I did need to add the ppa in order to take advantage of "bzr qlog." Note I followed all the pre-instruction on setting up one machine for development (ie getting-set-up.html and other pages leading up to this one).

If you feel this is not helpful to the cookbook approach please feel free to mark this bug as invalid.

-thanks.

Hi Antonio,

No, it should not be marked invalid. You caught a real bug here. Thanks you again for deciding to work on it.

I think you misunderstood my point. We should mention that you need to install qbzr, the package that provides the command 'bzr qlog' but you don't need to add the PPA in order to do that. qbzr is provided in the normal Ubuntu repositories. See:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/qbzr

Thanks!

Andrew,

Ah yes, I did misunderstand you in regards to adding the ppa. Thanks for clarifying this bit. Thus, I think the correct instructions should look like:

{{{
$ cd kdetoys
$sudo apt-get install qbzr
$ bzr qlog
}}}

-Thanks,
Antonio
