[Buildbot-devel] tla/baz: do we still need support for these?

[Brian Warner]

Does anyone still use the old arch/bazaar code? Like, the kind with
executables named "tla" and "baz"? I don't know of any projects that
are still using them (I think the arch fans have all moved to bzr by
now), so I'd kind of like to drop support for them in buildbot. My
only serious reason is that the unit tests fail every couple of builds
and I've never been able to figure out why, and of course negative code
days (days on which you remove more code than you add) are always a
good thing.

But if anyone is still using them, I'll leave them in. Note that this
only applies to the old tla/baz stuff (buildbot.steps.source.Arch and
source.Bazaar). The modern "bzr" VC system (source.Bzr) is still
supported, and will remain so, of course.

cheers,
