Actually, https://launchpad.net/bzr/1.3/1.3/+download/Bazaar-1.3-OSX10.5.dmg works brilliantly, a nice .pkg like I was hoping for. It’s linked on the Bazaar home page - I feel like an idiot now.

That’s odd; it works for me—I even just uninstalled Bazaar and its dependencies and had MacPorts reinstall them again.

In a FAQ on MacPorts’ web site, it mentions that sometimes on failures related to Python, simply rerunning will pass by the problem. Try a port clean py25-bz and then another port install.

Macports (up to date) fails to install py25-bz, which is a dependency of bzr (that’s a shame, there are beautiful git packages for Mac). What is the easiest way to get this running?

Bazaar is *so nice*. I’m still sad I didn’t convince the rest of the Adium team to go for it over Hg :/

No, you can get an RSS feed anonymously, and you can put up a clone on your own web server if you’d like to avoid github altogether (except as a remote).

Am I correct in thinking registering for GitHub would only need to be done if you wanted to follow the repository via GitHub itself? It seems like actions like cloning, pulling, pushing, etc could be done via git alone.

I am a newby to Git and GitHub, so I could be way off, but it doesn’t seem that users of Sparkle would be put off by the use of Git. It would seem that even possible maintainers would not have to use GitHub’s interface if they don’t want to.

I do see a possible issue in picking a DVCS that isn’t in use by many of your possible committers and users though. Especially considering Bazaar 1.4 doesn’t seem to be easy to get going on OS X this second.

What makes me want to see Git being used is that as of this moment, I can’t download an installer package for the latest version of Bazaar and I can’t get it to download all the dependencies needed to try compiling it via Macports.

Wondering how you got it installed for your machine Andy?

Andy,

Another site you might want to consider is unfuddle as they now have git support. Not sure if you have looked at them at all.

Thanks for your feedback, guys!

I’m hearing a lot of “but Git is neat and not as hard as you think,” which is cool, but if Git is easy, Bazaar is even easier. And LaunchPad has more features and is unified.

I guess my point is that I’m a lot more concerned about the GitHub+Lighthouse vs. LaunchPad part than the Git vs. Bazaar part. Any thoughts on that?
