It's ok with me to keep it as bzr. Maybe we should rename bazaar to
baz though? Also the description currently says
Description: arch-based distributed revision control system
GNU Arch is a revision control system with features that are ideal for projects
characterised by widely distributed development, concurrent support of
multiple releases, and substantial amounts of development on branches.
It can be a replacement for CVS and corrects many mis-features of that system.
.
bazaar is an implementation of Arch in C, based on tla. It focuses on making
tla's UI more accessible, but also has smarter merging and gettext support.
.
Unless you have a pressing reason to use bazaar you should use some other
revision control system as upstream development has ceased.
.
Homepage: http://bazaar.canonical.com/
and I'd rather we specifically pointed people at bzr.
Also that homepage just redirects to the bzr home page, which may
cause some confusion. Maybe it should point to a landing page
explaining about baz and how to migrate?
