Hi,

Roger, I think your concerns are justified. Let's do all we can to ensure
the code is neat and clean, if it is within our reach.

I read the link you sent and it have indeed some useful informations about
an upgrade of the metadata in bzr. It anwers most of your questions, without
of course the results of the tests in a private branch.

The test I conducted consisted in
- Creating two test branches in launchpad

- In one copy of a local branch in my computer, I upgraded locally and then
uploaded to one of the branches in launchpad

This was the method described in the link you sent, and it showed no
problem. To test the branch, I run "bzr check"

- Uploaded the local branch in the old format then hit the "upgrade" button
in launchpad.

After a few minutes after pressing the button, the launchpad branch was
converted to the new format, so I downloaded it again and tested it with
"bzr check", to see if it had any inconsistency. It found none.


I plan to do the latter (pressing the button) to perform the upgrade on
saturday, so all the devs can prepare ahead for this.

To work with the new trunk, all devs must:

a) run "bzr upgrade --2a" in their local branch
or
b) get a new copy of the trunk in launchpad with "bzr branch lp:oship"


Cheers
Eduardo
