LUG Radio Live 2008 – Saturday

Matt Wilkes - July 19th, 2008

So, after going all round the Wrekin on a Travel West Midlands bus trying to get into Wolves I have now ended up at LUG Radio Live.  I’ve just listened to a 60 minute talk on bzr from a Canonical employee and Bazaar developer Robert Collins.  After giving us an overview of Bazaar and the design goals (laudable principles such as user friendliness and hackability), he showed some demonstrations of some cool plugins.

I very much enjoyed the bzr search command which I could imagine using all the bloody time.  There’s also an IRC bot plugin, much nicer than using the CIA disc image I have been.  As the SVN binding are different in design to git (which put me off dVCS systems) I’ve decided to have a play next week and see how it works in practice.

I also have a SUSE cuddly toy.
