for review and possibly inclusion into the main development branch. To this end students should: | |||
<ol> | |||
<li> prepare a full log of their changes, listing files that have been touched | |||
and including a summary of the purpose of those changes. If students have been following | |||
the [[Commit message guidelines]] the following command will give a good starting point<br> | |||
hg pull https://www.octave.org/hg/octave | <code> hg log --style=changelog --no-merges --user student-name </code><br> | ||
hg | this message should be edited so that | ||
hg merge | <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;"> | ||
hg commit | <li> each touched file appears only once </li> | ||
hg export | <li> changes that were backed out should not be mentioned <!--(like changeset "H" in the above example)--> </li> | ||
</ | </ol> | ||
The main purpose of this log is to make it easy, not only for the main mentor, but also for other developers who | |||
have not been closely following the progress of the project to quickly understand where to look at in the code to evaluate it, but it will also be used as the commit message for the merge changeset, so it should itself comply with the [[Commit message guidelines]]. | |||
<li> prepare a merge changeset including all the code that should be submitted for review | |||
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman;"> | |||
<li> pull from the main repository<br/> | |||
<code>hg pull https://www.octave.org/hg/octave</code></li> | |||
<li> move to the top of the main line of development and merge in the feature branch<br/> | |||
<code>hg up -r @</code><br/> | |||
<code>hg merge student-bookmark-name </code><br/></li> | |||
<li> create a changeset, export it and send to the mentor for review, remember to use the log created above as a commit message<br/> | |||
<code>hg commit </code><br/> | |||
<code>hg export @ > mid-term-review.changeset </code><br/> | |||
the file mid-term-review.changeset can then be sent to the [mailto:octave-maintainers@octave.org mailing list] or posted | |||
to the [https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?group=octave patch tracker]</li> | |||
