Hi, Harley Peters : > Since I did a full checkout with the EBZR_FETCH_CMD="bzr checkout" > it now deletes the entire previous checked out branch (to save disk > space ?) and proceeds to fetch the entire source again. > Why would I ever want to do that ? The whole point of bzr is to save > bandwidth not disk space. Is there a way arouund this ? You can add a modified bzr.eclass to a local overlay which will shadow the one from the Portage tree. This idea was born because initial checkouts are/were incredibly slow, so give first time users a better first experience and not let them wait 20 minutes (what happened with the Emacs repository).
