I'm using bzr version-info --custom --template="{branch_nick}.{revno} to construct a version number within the code as per recommended usage in bzr help version-info. However, it's very slow - typically 4-6 seconds!
strace seems to indicate that it's stalling communicating with launchpad:
write(3, "0.665 ssh implementation is Ope"..., 37) = 37
socketpair(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0, [4, 5]) = 0
fcntl(4, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
pipe([6, 7]) = 0
fcntl(7, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl(7, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f5929da79f0) = 20349
close(7) = 0
mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f5924b07000
read(6, "", 1048576) = 0
mremap(0x7f5924b07000, 1052672, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x7f5924b07000
close(6) = 0
munmap(0x7f5924b07000, 4096) = 0
close(5) = 0
sendto(4, "bzr message 3 (bzr 1.6)\n\0\0\0\34d16:"..., 108, 0, NULL, 0) = 108
brk(0x2266000) = 0x2266000
recvfrom(4, "bzr message 3 (bzr 1.6)\n\0\0\0'd16:"..., 65536, 0, NULL, NULL) = 86
...delay here
However, it would seem that all the information required is local. For example:
grep "^\(bound\|parent\)_location" .bzr/branch/branch.conf | sed 's/.*${PACKAGE_NAME}\///' | sed 's/\/$//'
from the source directory will give nick while bzr revno --tree gives the revno.
I'm using:
Bazaar 2.4.1-1ubuntu1
Ubuntu 11.10
Lawrence, your branch fixing this looks reasonable, do you want to propose it for merging into Bazaar so we can work out how to write a test to verify it resolves the issue?
