If you don't have write privileges on bzr.openpetra.org you can also commit to launchpad. This can be done the following way:
This page has now been inserted into [[How to work with bazaar on the command line]] and [[How to work with bazaar through the GUI on Windows]] since Launchpad is now our main bzr server.
 
* First get an account on Launchpad, which is a service provided by the company Canonical, who develop Ubuntu and Bazaar: https://login.launchpad.net/+new_account
* Create a public and private key on launchpad. This is explained here. It is quite important to execute pageant and to load the private key into pageant.
* In your bazaar, you need to tell your launchpad username, on the command line run bzr launchpad-login USERNAME. You can do this in the GUI as well, in the menu Bazaar / All Commands / category Launchpad, Command launchpad-login, and enter your launchpad id as the parameter.
 
* Then go to https://code.launchpad.net/openpetraorg/+addbranch to create a new branch. It will have the url lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME
 
* Create a directory on your local hard-disk named as your new branch
 
* Do a checkout now from lp:~openpetraorg
bzr checkout lp:openpetraorg .../openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME/
 
* Move into your branch directory and do a push to your newly created branch
bzr push --use-existing-dir lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME
 
* Then switch your local working tree to <code>lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME</code>. This means that all your future commits will go to your branch at Launchpad. If the corresponding button is not visible then execute the following command:
  bzr switch lp:~USERNAME/openpetraorg/BRANCH_NAME/
* Now you can add files and change existing files, and commit them to your branch at Launchpad with
bzr commit --message "my message"
 
* If you want to get the latest version from OpenPetra, do a
bzr merge http://bzr.openpetra.org:8008/openpetra/trunk
Before doing more changes in your workspace please first commit this merge to launchpad. This makes it easier later for the core-development team.
 
Summarized the order would be:
 
1. do changes in your local workspace
 
2. commit them to the launchpad-branch
 
3. merge from trunk
 
4. commit trunk changes to the launchpad-branch
 
5. go back to 1.
 
* If you want your changes to be merged into the OpenPetra bzr, tell a core developer the URL of your branch. It is recommended to have small branches for each feature that you want to go upstream. You will not be able to reuse a branch, after it has been merged into openpetra trunk, since we want to avoid criss cross merges etc.
 
* If you get an unlock error-message execute a
 
bzr break-lock bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jomammele/openpetraorg/website-spanish/
 
* If you get a message like "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent" please have a look [http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3385 here] or [http://www.finrik.at/content/sshadd-could-not-open-connection-your-authentication-agent here]
