Bazaar

Dedicated server and writable url

Asked by Vladislav Krejcirik

Hi,

I'm new in Bazaar. I tried to install Bazaar as dedicated server. I proceed according to the Bazaar documentation.
On server I started:

1) bzr init-repo /srv/bzr/repo
2) I created new folder trunk there
3) bzr init trunk

Then I ran server:

45$bzr serve --directory=/srv/bzr/repo
listening on port: 4155

On client I did checkout. (Client is now on the same machine)

1) bzr checkout bzr://localhost/trunk
2) I created new text file and wrote there some text..
3) I tried to commit changes, but I got:

91$bzr commit -m "add file" bzr://localhost/trunk
bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(filtered-169082380:///trunk/.bzr/branch/lock): Transport operation not possible: readonly transport
~/test/trunk/.bzr/branch

I read something about writable URL, but how can I retrieve that? Did I something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Vlad

You need to run bzr serve --allow-writes

I would really recommend that rather than using --allow-writes on the
network, you instead access bzr over ssh. A public writable tcp
server is a security incident waiting to happen.

Can you help with this problem?
