====================
Bazaar configuration
====================
Information on how to configure Bazaar.
Location of configuration file
==============================
Each user gets a pair of configurations files in $HOME/.bazaar. The first
one, named bazaar.conf, includes default configuration options. The other
file, locations.conf, contains configuration information for specific
branch locations.
General Format
==============
An ini file has three types of contructs: section headers, section
variables and comments.
Comments
--------
A comment is any line that starts with a "#" (sometimes called a "hash
mark", "pound sign" or "number sign"). Comment lines are ignored by
Bazaar when parsing ini files.
Section Headers
---------------
A section header is a word enclosed in brackets that starts at the begining
of a line, typical section headers look like this::
[DEFAULT]
The only valid section header for bazaar.conf is [DEFAULT], which is case
senstive. The default section provides for setting variables which can be
overridden with the branch config file.
For locations.conf, the variables from the section with the longest matching
section header are used to the exclusion of other potentially valid section
headers. A section header uses the path for the branch as the section
header. Some examples include::
[http://mybranches.isp.com/~jdoe/branchdir]
[/home/jdoe/branches/]
Section Variables
-----------------
A section variable resides within a section. A section variable contains a
variable name, an equals sign and a value and generally takes the following
form::
email = John Doe <jdoe@isp.com>
check_signatures = require
Variable Policies
-----------------
Variables defined in a section affect the named directory or URL plus
any locations they contain. Policies can be used to change how a
variable value is interpreted for contained locations. Currently
there are three policies available:
none:
the value is interpreted the same for contained locations. This is
the default behaviour.
norecurse:
the value is only used for the exact location specified by the
section name.
appendpath:
for contained locations, any additional path components are
appended to the value.
Policies are specified by keys with names of the form "$var:policy".
For example, to define the push location for a tree of branches, the
following could be used::
[/top/location]
push_location = sftp://example.com/location
push_location:policy = appendpath
With this configuration, the push location for ``/top/location/branch1``
would be ``sftp://example.com/location/branch1``.
The main configuration file, bazaar.conf
----------------------------------------
The main configuration file, $HOME/.bazaar/bazaar.conf, only allows one
section called '''[DEFAULT]'''. This default section contains the default
configuration options for all branches. The default section can be
overriden by providing a branch specific section in locations.conf.
A typical bazaar.conf section often looks like the following::
[DEFAULT]
email = John Doe <jdoe@isp.com>
editor = /usr/bin/vim
check_signatures = check-available
create_signatures = when-required
$HOME/.bazaar/locations.conf allows one to specify overriding settings for a
specific branch. The format is almost identical to the default section in
bazaar.conf with one significant change: The section header, instead of
saying default, will be the path to a branch that you wish to override a
value for. The ? and * wildcards are supported::
[/home/jdoe/branches/nethack]
email = Nethack Admin <nethack@nethack.com>
[http://hypothetical.site.com/branches/devel-branch]
create_signatures = always
check_signatures = always
[http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/*]
check_signatures = require
Common Variable options
=======================
email
-----
The email address to use when committing a branch. Typically takes the form
of::
email = Full Name <account@hostname.tld>
editor
------
The path of the editor that you wish to use if *bzr commit* is run without
a commit log message. This setting is trumped by the environment variable
$BZR_EDITOR, and overrides $VISUAL and $EDITOR.
check_signatures
----------------
Defines the behavior for signatures.
require
the gnupg signature for revisions must be present and must be valid
ignore
Do not check gnupg signatures of revisions.
check-available
(default) If gnupg signatures for revisions are present, check them.
Bazaar will fail if it finds a bad signature, but will not fail if
no signature is present
create_signatures
-----------------
Defines the behaviour of signing revisions. Has three possible values:
always, never and when-requied.
always
sign every new revision that is committed
when-required
(default) Sign newly committed revisions only when the branch requires
signed revisions
never
Refuse to sign newly committed revisions, even if the branch requires signatures
recurse
-------
Only useful in locations.conf. Defines whether or not the configuration for
this section applies to subdirectories:
true
(default) This section applies to subdirectories as well
false
This section only applies to the branch at this directory and not
branches
gpg_signing_command
-------------------
(Default: "gpg"). Which program should be used to sign and check revisions.
example::
gpg_signing_command = /usr/bin/gnpg
