Define redirect like lp:myproject?

Asked by moadin

Hi there,

is it possible to define a own redirect-rule like the "lp:" used for launchpad?
E.g. I would like to define my server as svr and get access to the projects via svr:my1st, svr:my2nd and so on.

Thanks for help

At the moment, you can register a Transport and have it proxy the same way the lp: transport does.
In the next release of bzr (1.3) we will make it clearer about having a "directory service" which is more clearly defined as a mapping from "lp:foo" to a full url. Which should make implementing your own easier.

In both cases you would need to write a python plugin. If you need help, you can certainly find us on IRC or on the mailing list.

Or you can use the bzr bookmark plugin, which adds two commands, bookmark and bookmarks. This lets you easily add abbreviations for frequently used locations. The plugin is here:

Thanks for your answers.
A directory service with mapping would be a great feature.
I will also try the bookmark plugin!

I like the "lp:" style instead of long URLs to remember...

I installed the bookmarks plugin. It works fine and is easy to maintain! Thanks for the tip!
