Hi folks, As explained in the "Sage Developer's Guide", it's very easy to clone the sage-main repo in order to have a repo for one's own development. Cloning this repo is painless since all one needs to do is something like this:
sage -clone my-repo Is there a corresponding command or process that I can use to clone the doc-main repo as well? Whenever I review the official documentation that's shipped with each Sage release, I would go into <sage-home>/devel/doc-main and then review the documentation from there. If I'm reviewing someone's patch to any file in the latter directory, I would not clone doc-main (since I don't yet know how to do that). Instead, I would go ahead with applying the patch and then do more review of the patch. At this point, at least one of two things can happen: [1] If the patch gets a positive review, then all is fine and good. [2] However, in case there's something wrong with the patched file and I want to un-apply the patch, I would do this: sage: hg_doc.revert() This command reverts back to the stage at which the file in question is unpatched. Another possibility is for me to copy a source distro to more than one directory, and then build (and test) the distro from those different directories. That way, I would have a copy of Sage that I can use and with which I won't apply any documentation patches. And I would also have another copy of Sage for applying documentation patches. Building one copy of a source distro usually takes a _very_ long time on each machine that I have access to --- and running all standard tests further add to my waiting time. As you can imagine, repeating the build and test processes on the same machine for another copy of the same source distro would further add to the waiting time. (Man, I can't wait to work on Sage ;-) -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen Web: http://nguyenminh2.googlepages.com Blog: http://mvngu.wordpress.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
