Hi All, I am currently working on a submissions purge. My first port has call has been clearing the submissions back log submitted via the official osg-submissions mailing list. Still a way to go so please be patient.
There are also pull requests on github but these still aren't the official route for providing submissions which is providing whole modified files sent to osg-submissions, because well it's been pretty reliable over the year. I have tried a few pull requests but I'm still not git guru so it can be painful trying to make sure things are properly reviewed without mistakes creeping in. My plan is to steadily learn more about git/github and adapting it with scripts to better suit the workflow that ensures things are merged and tested safely with low overhead. This post isn't about this, and it's certainly not a post saying I'm ready for a pull request free for all. The official route for submissions is post whole modified files to osg-submissions. In dipping my toes in the water of learning and merging submissions that are source form Pull Requests today I looked at the Pull Request list and for some reason github has closed the majority of the open requests. I didn't close them even though github suggests it was the openscenegraph user that did it. I have attempted to reopen requests but the github interfaces isn't allowing me to do this. The closed pull requests also have broken file lists and links so I'm not able to find out what has been changed. This leaves me with just a title and some comments form the author of the Pull Request. The Pull Requests also have lots of unrelated commits mixed into the discussion thread so something has royally confused github. The only thing I can think of that I may have done at my end was to fix the author names in repository. I used scripts and instructions that were published by github for doing this. Outwardly these changes looked to have worked just fine. Perhaps there is some un-intended consequence for githubs booking that the instructions never mentioned about. Or perhaps simply something has screwed up at github. Anyway, this means for now all the in appropriately closed Pull Requests are lost as far as my ability to follow up on them in any way. This means the community need to check there Pull Requests and if they have gone astray to re-submit them. Don't just do a Pull Request, please send the whole modified files to osg-submissions as this is still the official and crucially most reliable way to submit changes. Thanks, Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
