Hi Jeroen, I'd suggest that SPKG authors make their final commit themselves rather than just allowing Jeroen's script to do it for them - this keeps the "blame history" intact (assuming Jeroen's script doesn't mine people's names from SPKG.txt and commit under those names!).
I sometimes worry we're not really using Mercurial for anything. http://hg.sagemath.org/ paints a very unrealistic picture of the development of Sage, for example, in comparison to how a real open source project's code repository should look - take for example matplotlib ( http://github.org/matplotlib ), ipython ( http://github.com/ipython ), Octave ( http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave ), etc. To be frank, when even you, who are in ultimate charge of our source control, say you are not very fluent with the source control mechanism we use, it must mean we are all kind of stumbling around... Are we just using hg as a convenient way to generate patches and nothing more? I'm in no way an expert on Mercurial or on software development practices but these things do worry me. -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
