Do I have to buy a license to use BK for kernel development?
Hi all.
I've made one or two attempts at beginning to use BK for my kernel development work, but each time I've been stuck by the licensing code. I use it for a little while, and then get a message about not being allowed to commit because of logging (or something to that effect). Can someone give me info on how to set up BK so that you don't get these issues? (I'm assuming I don't need to buy it to use it for kernel development). I should add that I'm doing 99% of my work disconnected from the internet.
Can I also suggest that info on this be added to Documentation/BK-Usage?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Nigel

Read the license. The free use requires that you connect periodically to log what it is you are doing. Those are the terms of use. If that doesn't work for you there is the CVS gateway and the SVN gateway.
If you are having problems with BK you might try [email protected] or [email protected].

Hi.
I did read the license and am happy to comply with it. I was wondering if there's something that is failing to work properly. Are there details somewhere on how BK expects to be able to send the data, or how it can be made to try to send it?
Regards,
Nigel

Basically, BK wants to send logging data. If it can't do that, after a number of changes it stops working.
bk help log
So, as soon as you're online, just run "bk log" in every BK tree you've worked at when offline.
You can use the -d option if you need to figure out what's happening.
