bazaar launchpad branch creation

[Erik Bågfors]

Hi.

Since my new web hotel doesn't support SFTP, I wanted to put bzr
extmerge on launchpad instead.  So I created a project, then went to
define "trunk". I got this message

You haven't yet told Launchpad where your source code is for External
merge Series: trunk.

If the code is already in a Bazaar branch registered with Launchpad
link the branch to this series.

If the code is in a Bazaar branch not yet on Launchpad you can either:
have the branch mirrored from a remote location by registering a
mirrored branch; or push the branch directly to Launchpad.

You can push a branch to Launchpad for this project with the name
trunk using a command line like:
bzr push lp:~zindar/bzr-extmerge/trunk

Ok, so I tried
$ bzr push lp:~zindar/bzr-extmerge/trunk
lp:~zindar/bzr-extmerge/trunk is redirected to
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zindar/bzr-extmerge/trunk/
bzr: ERROR: Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()
