Bazaar
Bazaar (or bzr) is an open-source, distributed revision control system, sponsored and supported by Canonical, the company behind the fast-growing Linux distribution Ubuntu.
On June 19th, 2008, MySQL announced that it had migrated all MySQL Server source code trees from BitKeeper to this new source code management system.
All new server development will now take place in Bazaar, the public source trees are hosted on Launchpad.net.
See the MySQL Bazaar Howto for detailed instructions on how to work on the MySQL Server source trees with Bazaar.
