Canonical announces commercial services for its version control system, Bazaar
Set up, support and troubleshooting now available for new and existing deployments
LONDON, December 10, 2009 – Companies and open source projects interested in using Canonical's popular version control system now have access to a suite of commercial services – Consultancy & Conversion, Training and Support – allowing them to migrate, deploy and manage Bazaar.
Used by Ubuntu and thousands of other open source and commercial projects, Bazaar (bzr) is a version control system (vcs) that supports distributed development environments. Many existing version control systems use a centralised model, a particular challenge to globally distributed 'chase the sun' development teams, or environments where there is a frequent need to merge or branch code. Although bzr itself is open source, there is no requirement for commercial projects to make their code publicly available.
