Well, I merged it onto bzr.dev, so you can now do:

bzr get http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev

Which will create a local copy of bzr.dev on your machine.

Then you can either run from source, or run 'python setup.py install'.

I'm a little concerned about the error that you are getting. In general,
ftp servers aren't good at giving reasons for why they fail, generally
just telling us that "I can't do that". (Which doesn't tell us if the
parent didn't exist, or if the directory we are creating does exist).

I have also heard about ftp servers that don't allow you to create dot
files (files starting with a single '.').

At this point, the only one we create is '.bzr', and there is some work
which might make it easier to use '_bzr'.

Otherwise, all of my branches are available somewhere at:
http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/branches/bzr/

But since that is my home machine, it isn't a terribly fast connection.
