All, I've created a tarball of a freshly branched MariaDB 5.2 source tree. I created the branch with: bzr branch lp:maria/5.2 mariadb-5.2 I created the tarball with: tar -czvf mariadb-5.2-repo.tar.gz mariadb-5.2/ I then saw to it that the tarball was uploaded to our mirrors. If you are having trouble with using bzr to branch the complete MariaDB source tree, using this tarball is an option. For example, see this bug on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407834 Links to the tarball (and some brief instructions) are here: http://askmonty.org/wiki/Getting_the_MariaDB_Source_Code#Source_Tree_Tarball I've tested the tree by downloading the tarball to my local machine, and it appears to work just fine. Let me know if you try to use it and it doesn't work for you. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew Monty Program - http://askmonty.org
