Hello Castor Folks, First, I'd really like to thank Keith, Rick and Harindrinath for helping me figure out how to "checkout" stuff from the repository. Embarrassingly easy once explained but frustrating nonetheless to a CVS newbie like me.
Now I have some questions about the process of contributing to Castor... I downloaded 0.9.3.9 via FTP and completed all of my ValidationException changes to that source code. However, I've come to understand that a CVS "checkout" does not mean that I have a lock on the files so I'm sorta puzzled as to how parallel development is prevented and if it is not, how are branch versions consolidated? I just don't know who does the merging if there's parallel development. Do I just submit to someone in Castor who controls the code and merges it or is it up to me to merge when I check in? If it's up to me to merge upon checking in then is it OK to overwrite the checked out code with my modified 0.9.3.9 FTP code and just merge when checking in? How should I proceed given that I've already completed my changes to ~20 classes on the 0.9.3.9 source code that I downloaded via FTP? i.e. I don't have anything currently checked out from CVS. Also, Castor seems to want test cases but I don't know how I am to submit them. Where do I put the test cases? Thanks for all your help, Joyce : ) --- Keith Visco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Joyce, > > You didn't do anything wrong. It appears you have > logged in > successfully.
