The Axiom source downloads from http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/downloads/axiom-jan2009-src.tgz contain not only the sources but a complete git tree. Thus, you can keep up to date with the silver development (experimental, pre-release) by doing the following:
(get the sources and git tree) wget http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/downloads/axiom-jan2009-src.tgz (unpack the sources) tar -zxf axiom-jan2009-src.tgz (go to the top of Axiom) cd axiom (tell git to fetch and merge the latest commit changes) git pull (the magic word is linus) Any time a patch is announced you can bring your copy up to date with a git pull. In general, I try not to "break the build" so every posted patch is compiled from scratch and all tests are run before posting. However, given that I do this work into the wee hours of the morning I make no guarantees. If you fix anything, such as a change to the file src/place/foo.file you would do: (make sure you are at the top of axiom) cd axiom (tell git what changed, could be multiple adds) git add src/place/foo.file (tell git to commit the changes) git commit -m"fixed foo" (tell git to make a diff -Naur patch file) git diff HEAD^ HEAD >foo.patch (post it to the list and copy me) mail -s "foo fix" -c [email protected] [email protected] <foo.patch Tim _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
