LinuxQuestions.org - bzr / precise - how to override plugins path for an alternate installation of bzr?

Hi!

I'm having a problem with bzr as comming from ubuntu (I already reported the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...vn/+bug/996747). I want to give a try with an older version of bzr (2.4.2) that I installed from scratch. Now, I've been able to make this bzr see the right version of bzrlib by setting PYTHONPATH:

Code:

$ echo $PYTHONPATH

/usr/local/bzr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

Now the next problem is that when I ask for the plugins (I haven't installed any on this alternate bzr), I see the ones of 2.5.0:

Code:

$ /usr/local/bzr/bin/bzr plugins

cannot import name BzrFormat

bash_completion 2.4.2

  Generate a shell function for bash command line completion.



bzrtools 2.5.0

  Various useful commands for working with bzr.



changelog_merge 2.4.2

  Merge hook for GNU-format ChangeLog files



git (failed to load)

  ** Unable to load plugin 'git'. It requested API version (2, 5, 0) of module <module 'bzrlib' from '/usr/local/bzr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bzrlib/__init__.pyc'> but the minimum exported version is (2, 4, 0), and the maximum is (2, 4, 2)



launchpad 2.4.2

  Launchpad.net integration plugin for Bazaar.



netrc_credential_store 2.4.2

  Use ~/.netrc as a credential store for authentication.conf.



news_merge 2.4.2

  Merge hook for bzr's NEWS file.



po_merge 2.4.2

  Merge hook for ``.po`` files.



qbzr 0.22.2

  QBzr - Qt-based frontend for Bazaar



rewrite (failed to load)

  ** Unable to load plugin 'rewrite' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/plugins'



svn (failed to load)

  ** Unable to load plugin 'svn'. It requested API version (2, 5, 0) of module <module 'bzrlib' from '/usr/local/bzr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bzrlib/__init__.pyc'> but the minimum exported version is (2, 4, 0), and the maximum is (2, 4, 2)



weave_fmt 2.4.2

  Weave formats.



xmloutput 0.8.8

  This plugin adds an option (--xml) to log and provides an xml version of some builtin commands.

I saw around there that BZR_PLUGIN_PATH can be used to change this path:

Code:

$ echo $BZR_PLUGIN_PATH

/usr/local/bzr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins

Even then I'm seeing the 2.5 plugins. What can I try next?
