Information on how to configure Bazaar.

Location of configuration file
8
==============================
9
Each user gets a pair of configurations files in $HOME/.bazaar. The first
10
one, named bazaar.conf, includes default configuration options. The other
11
file, locations.conf, contains configuration information for specific
16
An ini file has three types of contructs: section headers, section
17
variables and comments.
21
A comment is any line that starts with a "#" (sometimes called a "hash
22
mark", "pound sign" or "number sign"). Comment lines are ignored by
23
Bazaar when parsing ini files.
27
A section header is a word enclosed in brackets that starts at the begining
28
of a line, typical section headers look like this::
32
The only valid section header for bazaar.conf is [DEFAULT], which is case
33
senstive. The default section provides for setting variables which can be
34
overridden with the branch config file.
36
For locations.conf, the variables from the section with the longest matching
37
section header are used to the exclusion of other potentially valid section
38
headers. A section header uses the path for the branch as the section
39
header. Some examples include::
41
[http://mybranches.isp.com/~jdoe/branchdir]
42
[/home/jdoe/branches/]
49
A section variable resides within a section. A section variable contains a
50
variable name, an equals sign and a value and generally takes the following
53
email = John Doe <jdoe@isp.com>
54
check_signatures = require
57
The main configuration file, bazaar.conf
58
----------------------------------------
60
The main configuration file, $HOME/.bazaar/bazaar.conf, only allows one
61
section called '''[DEFAULT]'''. This default section contains the default
62
configuration options for all branches. The default section can be
63
overriden by providing a branch specific section in locations.conf.
65
A typical bazaar.conf section often looks like the following::
68
email = John Doe <jdoe@isp.com>
70
check_signatures = check-available
71
create_signatures = when-required
73
$HOME/.bazaar/locations.conf allows one to specify overriding settings for a
74
specific branch. The format is almost identical to the default section in
75
bazaar.conf with one significant change: The section header, instead of
76
saying default, will be the path to a branch that you wish to override a
77
value for. The ? and * wildcards are supported::
79
[/home/jdoe/branches/nethack]
80
email = Nethack Admin <nethack@nethack.com>
82
[http://hypothetical.site.com/branches/devel-branch]
83
create_signatures = always
84
check_signatures = always
86
[http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/*]
87
check_signatures = require
89
Common Variable options
90
=======================
94
The email address to use when committing a branch. Typically takes the form
97
email = Full Name <account@hostname.tld>
101
The path of the editor that you wish to use if *bzr commit* is run without
102
a commit log message. This setting is trumped by the environment variables
103
$BZR_EDITOR or $EDITOR.
107
Defines the behavior for signatures.
110
the gnupg signature for revisions must be present and must be valid
113
Do not check gnupg signatures of revisions.
116
(default) If gnupg signatures for revisions are present, check them.
117
Bazaar will fail if it finds a bad signature, but will not fail if
118
no signature is present
122
Defines the behaviour of signing revisions. Has three possible values:
123
always, never and when-requied.
126
sign every new revision that is committed
129
(default) Sign newly committed revisions only when the branch requires
133
Refuse to sign newly committed revisions, even if the branch requires signatures
137
Only useful in locations.conf. Defines whether or not the configuration for
138
this section applies to subdirectories:
141
(default) This section applies to subdirectories as well
144
This section only applies to the branch at this directory and not
149
(Default: "gpg"). Which program should be used to sign and check revisions.
