[SOLVED] Using breezy package

After installing the breezy package and running the command

brz init-shared-repo src

I get the following error:

brz: ERROR: No module named 'dulwich'
You may need to install this Python library separately.

...I'm not used to Python, but I'm also not used to packages which require more dependencies after installation for standard functionality.

The command comes from the official Breezy tutorial.

Check the optional dependencies.

Re: [SOLVED] Using breezy package

Does "src " include a git repo? I cannot guess why git should be involved when initiating a brz repo (and I cannot reproduce).

I can.  As could anyone who didn't already install the optional dependency/ies for other reasons.  I gather you already had it installed which is why it worked.

Re: [SOLVED] Using breezy package

Trilby, you got me. But then I agrre with the OP that at least python-dulwich should be a hard dependency for breezy.

Edit: there is alsready a bug report about this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76977?s … &closedto=

Re: [SOLVED] Using breezy package

This should then be taken upstream as they clearly specify that python-dulwich is not required for basic functionality but is an optional dependency:
https://github.com/breezy-team/breezy/b … er/INSTALL

If basic brz commands are expected to run in the absence of python-dulwich, then it's an upstream bug to fix the tool to meet that expectation.
