This question came up on a trac ticket recently: when working on an spkg, in the patches directory there might be files like
file.py file.py.patch Then the spkg-install file copies file.py to the appropriate place in src, while file.py.patch documents the changes. Certainly file.py.patch should be tracked in the Mercurial repo for the spkg. * Should file.py also be tracked, or should it be in the .hgignore file? (Personally, I think it should be tracked, but this is not a strongly held opinion. One argument the other way: if it's in .hgignore, then the spkg will be smaller, and besides, the relevant information is already available in the patch file.) -- John -- 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
