This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,

Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.

This is strongly recommended if you are dealing with large trees.

This package includes copies of two Python libraries, elementtree and
30
urlgrabber.

32
If you are building .deb or .rpm packages for bzr, please don't
33
include these libraries but instead package them separately and depend
34
on that.

better notes on how to install
40
The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
41
directory on your path.  For example::
42
43
  ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
44
45
If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
46
find the bzr libraries.  Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
47
your $PYTHONPATH.

After installing, please run the test suite to identify any problems
50
on your platform::

52
  ./testbzr

54
If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the

55
specified path.  In this case you must install ElementTree and
56
urlgrabber separately.
