| = Use and Contribute to the sage-combinat tree : step by step = Here are the basics steps in order to contribute some of your code to sage-combinat. We assume that the sage-combinat patches are readilly installed (see above!!!!!!!!). == The Sage-combinat stack of patches == Sage-combinat is a collection of experimental patches (i.e. extensions) on top of Sage. Each patch describes a relatively atomic modification which may span several files; it may fix a bug, implement a new feature, improve some documentation, ... TODO: insert a short example here: The patches are organized as a (totally ordered) stack, each being applied on top of the previous one. Technically, they are managed as a Mercurial queue. Let's look at a typical stack of patches: {{{ hg qseries }}} It will display something like: {{{ sage-3.1.3.patch sage-3.2.patch ... lazy_attributes-4371-nt.patch copy_on_write_fh.patch discrete_function-nt.patch crystals_alcove_path_model_bj.patch words_new_fcts_sl.patch }}} sage-3.1.3 is at the bottom of the stack, and is applied first, while words_new_fcts_sl.patch is applied last. The patch sage-3.2.patch contains all the sage-combinat patches that have readilly been integrated in sage 3.2. Up to some point, it allows for using the later patches on older versions of sage. The patch lazy_attributes-4371-nt.patch is about lazy attributes, related to [[http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/4371| ticket number 4371 on Sage trac]], and is owned by Nicolas Thiéry (nt). == Top, applied and unapplied patches == It is possible to move up and down the stack, applying all the patches up to a given one. {{{ hg qpush # Apply the first patch in the series which is not currently applied hg qpop # Unapply the most recently applied patch hg qpush -a # Apply all the patches hg qpop -a # Upapplied all the patches }}} If you get confused, the following can tell you which patches are applied or not: {{{ hg qtop # Top applied patch hg qapplied # Currently applied patches hg qunapplied # Currently unapplied patches }}} Note that after moving around the stack of patches, it is necessary to rebuild sage before using it : {{{ sage -b sage }}} == Looking inside patches == The content of the current top patch can be retrieved with {{{ hg qdiff }}} while a brief summary of the modifed files is given by {{{ hg qstatus }}} ~+5. Create a patch+~ Note that a patch has a unique owner so you should only modify a patch that is already yours. Changes always go to the actual top patch currently applied. So before doing any changes, you must determine the patch where the changes should be saved. If it is your first contribution, start by creating a patch: {{{ $ hg qpush -a #facultatif $ hg qnew my_improvement_AB.patch }}} The line {{{hg qpush -a}}} is only to make sure that the new patch is be created on top of the stack, because {{{qnew}}} creates a new patch right after the most recently applied patch. It is suggested to add your initials (here AB) in the name so that everybody knows who owns what. TODO : Add more details about naming of patch. ~+6. Do your modifications+~ Before making any modifications, make sure the current top patch is yours and is the one you want to add your modifications to. Use {{{qpop}}} and {{{qpush}}} to move to the desired patch to modify. Note that you can *not* use {{{qpop}}} and {{{qpush}}} commands once you started modifications. {{{ $ hg qtop #to print the current top patch $ hg qpop $ hg qpush #to change the top patch currently applied }}} Once you set the current top patch to the one you want, do your modifications to one or many existing files. At any time, you can review your modifications done since the last {{{qrefresh}}} (explained below) or since the creation of the patch by doing: {{{ $ hg diff #complete modifications since last qrefresh $ hg status #list the modified files since last qrefresh }}} If you added a file, you must declare it using the command: {{{ $ hg add <filename> }}} ~+7. QRefresh the patch+~ Currently, the modifications are still not part of the patch as seen by the command {{{ $ hg qdiff $ hg qstatus }}} that does not display them. Use {{{ $ hg qrefresh }}} to put the actual modifications in the current top patch. You can see that it worked when typing the command {{{ $ hg qdiff $ hg qstatus }}} that should now include your modifications and by the command {{{ $ hg diff $ hg status }}} that should not display them anymore. ~+8. Do more modifications+~ After {{{qrefresh}}}, you can now use {{{qpop}}} and {{{qpush}}} again and modify the same or other patches you already created. See steps 3-7. ~+9. Remove a patch+~ It is possible that you want to remove one of your patch from the stack. For example, you may have created a patch while reading these lines put don't want it to get in the sage-combinat server : {{{ $ hg qremove my_improvement_AB.patch }}} You may use {{{ $ hg qseries }}} to confirm the patch is removed. ~+10. Commit your changes to the local mercurial database+~ After having done modifications to one or to many patches, you migth want to commit them to the *local* mercurial database: {{{ $ hg qcommit }}} It includes all the changes to the patches done since the last commit. An editor will appear for you to provide a description of all the changes you made. ~+11. Merge your changes with other sage-combinat developpers+~ There is a possibility that somebody else pushed changes to the server since the last time you updated your sage-combinat tree. The local mercurial database will be used to merge those modifications. First pull any recent changes on the server by doing : {{{ $ cd .hg/patches $ hg pull -u }}} and {{{ $ hg merge }}} if needed. If there are conflicts between your changes and some recent changes on the server, then consult the [[http:/combinat/Mercurial|advanced instructions]]. ~+12. Push your changes to the server+~ Here is where you must be prudent. Before committing any changes to the server, make sure that {{{sage -br}}} works fine: {{{ $ hg qpop -a $ hg qpush -a $ sage -br }}} and that it passes the tests {{{ $ sage -t <filenames> }}} and maybe even that the notebook still works (!) {{{ sage: notebook() }}} Then push your changes to server after making sure one more time that there is no new changes on the server: {{{ $ cd .hg/patches $ hg pull -u $ hg push }}} |
