Siguiendo el post anterior, y en particular con bazaar, un par de links más.
Empecemos por el hecho de que bazaar acaba de lanzar su versión 1.0. Notable que entonces yo encuentre esto:
$ dpkg -l bazaar

ii bazaar 1.4.2-5.3 arch-based distributed revision control system
La explicación según la comunidad:
14:56 < StucKman> is debian's version numbering wrong?
14:57 < MattCampbell> The package name is bzr
14:58 < sabdfl> StucKman: bzr was bazaar-ng
14:59 < sabdfl> there was a project called tla
14:59 < sabdfl> some folks at canonical had a branch of that, which they called bazaar
14:59 < sabdfl> that's what you are looking at v1.4.2 of
15:00 < sabdfl> bzr was a skunkworks, from scratch clean set of ideas
15:00 < sabdfl> and when most of the canonical guys embraced that, they brought the name along
Del sitio de bazaar, recomiendo el minitutorial, un pdf con una quick reference, obviamente la extensa documentación, y muy particularmente los workflows.
Por último, acá hay un link de cómo usar bazaar para administrar /etc, el cual al momento de escribir este post parece estar caído.
