Loggerhead is a web viewer for bazaar branches. It can be used to navigate
7
5
a branch history, annotate files, perform searches... all the usual things.

This is a TurboGears (http://www.turbogears.org) project. It can be
12
$ ./start-loggerhead.py
8
started by running the 'start-loggerhead.py' script.
10
If you're not familiar with turbogears, the easiest way to get this script
11
started is to run it via::
13
$ nohup ./start-loggerhead.py &
14
This will run loggerhead in the background. To stop it, run::
16
$ ./stop-loggerhead.py
18
If you're not familiar with TurboGears, the simplest way to get running is
19
to add the following lines to your apache configuration::
21
<Location "/branches/">
15
and add the following lines to your apache configuration::
17
<Location "/bzr.dev/">

The config file is "loggerhead.conf". In there, you can configure projects,
27
and branches per project. The idea is that you could be publishing several
28
(possibly unrelated) projects through the same loggerhead instance, and
29
several branches for the same project.
31
Don't bother with "dev.cfg" or any of the other TurboGears config files.
32
Loggerhead overrides those values with its own.
34
A debug and access log are stored in the logs/ folder.
22
The port configuration is in "dev.cfg".
24
The config file is "loggerhead.conf". Currently it can only serve one
25
branch at a time, but in the future I plan to add support for serving
26
multiple branches at once.

To speed up most operations, loggerhead will start creating two caches per
41
branch when it first launches:

To speed up most operations, loggerhead will start creating two caches

when it first launches:

35
- a revision data cache
44
36
- a text searching cache

The caches for a branch with 10,000 revisions take about 15 minutes each
50
42
on my machine, but YMMV. Once they are built, they update every six hours
51
or so but usually finish quickly (or instantly) after the initial creation.
52
Until the revision cache is built, all operations will be slow.

You may update the bazaar branch at any time (for example, from a cron).

Loggerhead will notice and refresh, and bazaar uses its own branch locking
