Bazaar

v1.1 for Mac OS X

Asked by Kurt Lloyd

Hello,
I'm certainly not new to version control, but I am new to Bazaar,
and I'd like to try using it on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop, as well as on
my Mac OS X machine. However, I'm concerned right off the bat
that the README in bzr-1.1.tar.gz says:

  "Bazaar runs on Linux and Windows" ...

No mention of Mac OS X.

The http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download page mentions that I should
be able to run Bazaar if I can run Python 2.4 or later (which I can
do on my Mac), yet in the Mac OS X section of the web page,
only Mac OS X 10.4 PPC has a download for v1.1, and even that
is labeled 'experimental'.

I know that v1.1 was released only recently, so my concern is not
overly serious, but I must ask here, what's up with this?

OSX is supported for a long time, the README should have been updated long ago (in fact I think it was updated recently but really Unix should have been used instead of Linux, bzr run on Solaris too).

The experimental on the installers are, well, for the installers themselves, not bzr.

The only area where bzr has some rough edges on OSX is with unicode paths, so you may be concerned or absolutely not depending on you habits with file naming. And there is still works in progress in that area.
