Hello, I've just started looking at bazaar for version of my directories in my home directory, and I'd like some advice on the best usage pattern and automation. At this time, I would be the only user, but in the future, other users might want access to subdirectories, where other directories would be off-limits to them. I have a home linux server (home), a Mac OS X laptop (laptop) and a work desktop linux system (work). I've setup a repo and working copy on home for a directory called Documents : home> cd ~/Documents home> bzr init On my laptop, I keep a lightweight checkout (disk space) and at work a regular checkout : laptop> bzr checkout --lightweight sftp://user@host/home/user/Documents/ Documents work> bzr checkout sftp://user@host/home/user/Documents/ Documents And, I'd like to update each of my systems daily (or more frequently) : laptop> cd Documents laptop> bzr update and commit in a scripted or automated way (this version uses the automv plugin): laptop> cd Documents laptop> bzr automv laptop> bzr add laptop> bzr commit -m "Periodic commit YYYYMMDD-hh:mm" Preferrably, the above update and commit commands could be done in an automated or scripted way whenever I'd like to read/write to the repository -- ex : turn on or shut off a laptop or work system. Later, I might want to collaborate with colleagues on a paper I'm writing in Documents so that they can make their own edits. (i.e. give them permission to checkout a subdirectory of Documents for editing) Is there a better way to setup a personal home directory versioning system like this -- i.e. could I benefit from the distributed versioning features of bazaar? Did I miss anything in my setup? thanks very much for any advice. cheers, Justin
