The last few months I have been keen to move my existing version control activities over to Bazaar, away from Subversion. Today that desire was rather firmly set in stone when I discovered that Bazaar doesn’t create a .bzr directory under every subdirectory in the tree like Subversion does with its .svn directories. This makes things so much easier to work with when you have to, say, upgrade your version of Wordpress and you need to use FTP to transfer the files. Clearly you don’t want to transfer your VCS data as well so previously I had resorted to creating a sync script that disregarded the unwanted directories. So, thank you Bazaar for making my life that little bit easier!
In my new position at Fontis, I have been tasked with continuing development on a somewhat larger project for an external client. It doesn’t sound like anything too dramatic - web site written in PHP, using the CakePHP framework, and driven by a database. I just didn’t factor in Murphy’s Law.
