Making bzrweb work again

During the past weekend and the last couple of evenings I’ve been studying the Python code in bzrweb — which I’ve been using for online repository browsing. It broke sometime last year due to not keeping up with the development of bzr. Yesterday I got it working again!

• Branch: bzr branch http://vmlinux.org/jocke/bzr/bzrweb

Having only programmed Python very little earlier I must say that it’s really easy to get in to. I usually hack scripts in sh or Perl, but Python is really something that could be used for real programs.

I plan on doing some more bzrweb hacking later. I’m not sure yet what it’ll be, but I guess a file-view would be useful, plus some minor CSS cleanup.
