The sage-combinat team has a wiki page on using Mercurial for making patches: http://wiki.sagemath.org/combinat/MercurialStepByStep The context is the Sage combinat project. But section 3 is very useful for anyone who wants a quick tutorial on using Mercurial. The Developers' Guide has a section on producing patches using Mercurial from the Sage command line interface: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_patches.html I have been meaning to expand that into a longer tutorial that explains various ways to make and manage patches. > (And yes, if not I volunteer to write a > first draft > if a Sage developer will suggest where it should go, review, etc.) Tutorials, tips and techniques on making and managing patches should go in the Developers' Guide at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/ especially in the chapter "Disseminating Code for Sage". That way, such information won't easily be lost as is the case with wiki pages. All the documents in the Sage standard documentation are under SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-main/doc/en As a suggestion, you might want to expand on the information in the section "Producing Patches with Mercurial" of the Developers' Guide. Anyway, if want to produce a tutorial on using Mercurial to make and manage patches, I'd be very interested to know about it and am happy to help in any way I can. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
