Hello, I'm new in Sage and I'm working on an implementation for the error-correcting Golay codes (the decoder mainly).
The question is that I've got some doubts about how to edit de source code. I have read that I must do a new branch for "my version", edit files there and build with the changes. The thing is that I only need to edit a couple of python modules in sage.coding . I have tried directly editing the files into "sage/devel/sage-main/build/sage/coding" and it works as I expect on my local installation without build anything. But I'd like to know the correct way to done it for example if I do it on a new branch "sage-myver" and also to know what's about the modules in: "sage/devel/sage-myver/sage/coding" <-- If I edit here nothing happens AND "sage/devel/sage-myver/build/sage/coding" <-- If I done changes here it's okay And finally, if I build: $ sage -b myver , all the modifications on modules are loosen (are the modules restored?). In which directory must I edit the source of python modules? I'd like to know the correct way and the steps to follow in order to make a code patch then.
