Bazaar

How can I disable a site-wide plugin?

Asked by Jesse

I am using bzr on a linux server running Hardy LTS. The system is preloaded with bzr that comes with Hardy. I downloaded and installed my own copy of bzr into my home dir and it mostly works fine. However when I wanted to test subvertpy and bzr-svn with "bzr selftest svn", the site-wide gtk plugin gets involved. Since it's apparently out of sync with my version, it fails the test.
I do not have administrative privilege on the system so my question is: is there a way for me to instruct bzr to disable a certain plugin?
thanks

In your ~/.bazaar/plugins directory create a file called 'gtk.py'
containing just the word 'pass'.

aha, so bzr is actually loading a module and the "local" version would override the system one?
thanks martin, this solved my problem!
