Oh. I have not really followed deeply, but I had the impression that gpresent.spad should become part of FriCAS. No? I had/have a similar situation. For that I created a subdirectory and linked (link -s) every interesting .spad file from src/algebra into that subdir of the fricas tree (actually it could live outside if you just use symlinks). The important thing is that the original files live at the right place in the fricas tree. So that I can commit them into a feature branch and rebase when it becomes necessary. Inside my extra directory I have a file "compileall.input" that has commands like )compile /full/path/to/fricas/src/algebra/vector.spad )compile /full/path/to/fricas/src/algebra/gpresent.spad (I've explicitly mentioned vector.spad as an example. Replace vector.spad by files that changed on trunk. You don't always need a full recompilation of fricas. Then you could have a file "loadall.input" that has the respective )library commands to load the new/modified types, so that you don't always need to start )read compileall.input. Even files that you don't intend to add to FriCAS can live in the fricas tree (and git repository). As long as you keep them in separate commits, it's easy (via rebase) to separate them from what you eventually want to make public. You can even publish everything on your github account. As long as nobody fetches from you, there is no problem. And if you declare that you will freely rebase, then people will take appropriate action to get the right commits from your repository. I would know what to do in this case and I'm sure also Qian has no problem with a rebased branch or yours. > I have thought that I should do this with branches but I do quite like > the idea of having all the directories visible at the same time (so I > can use conventional utilities like Dolphin to copy between them). You don't need dolphin, if you use symlinks. Try echo "foo" > foo.txt link -s foo.txt bar.txt emacs bar.txt # change the content as you like Now look into foo.txt.
