Meanwhile on https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bazaar "bazaar" is a completely unrelated package, an object-oriented connection to relational databases. The source for the source control "bazarr" is currently https://code.launchpad.net/bazaar "bazaar" is also known as "bzr" on the command line. It is a python2 program. It was developed on the Canonical website known as launchpad.net. Canonical forked it, to rewrite it in python3, and renamed it, giving it a cutsie name and command line name "breezy" and "brz" https://code.launchpad.net/~brz/brz/trunk brz reads the bzr format so they are compatible in use. Also brz reads git and mercurical vcs databases so it acts as a command line unification utility, which is cool. Version 3.3.9 current. on Debian the commands "bzr" and "brz" link to the save "brz" executable, which is the breezy python3 version Should GNU drop "bazaar"? Not really, Just fix the urls and name on gnu.org website, don't call it "bazaar" and use correct link.
