As someone just beginning to get familiar with the Laconica sources
(I've been sending in small patches to fix bugs to get myself
oriented), I just wanted to clarify a few things about how the
repository reorganization might affect things. (Also, first post to
this list. :)
I'll just take this opportunity to say thanks for the many great
bugfixes you've posted over the last week or so. They've been really
helpful!
Thanks, Evan! :)
The Gitorious page says that the Laconica repository there is a
clone from the main one at
http://laconi.ca/software/laconica.git
That's where my local git repo is currently pulling from (it's my
"origin"). With this new reorganization to Gitorious, should I now
start pulling from the repository on Gitorious.org instead?
Yes. I'm going to try to keep the laconi.ca/software/laconica.git
repo as an up-to-date mirror, but you should now consider the
gitorious.org one authoritative. I've updated the description there
and the Source page on Trac.
Okay, cool. Thanks for the clarification. I've updated my remote URL
accordingly.
It'd be great if other people who want to contribute use
gitorious.org, too. You can push your changes there and make a
merge request; it's very handy for tracking what needs to be done.
So, can I take this to mean that sending you a merge request on
Gitorious.org is your preferred method of receiving patches? :)
As of right now, yes.
I've been uploading them to Laconica's Trac because that's where I
go to report the bugs I find, so I'm in the habit of returning
there to provide patches for said bugs. I also see folks sending
patches in via the mailing list here, and so now with this third
option I'm just wanting to know how to best be a helpful
contributor as opposed to a distraction. :)
Thanks! First, I'm excited to have any contributions from hackers,
designers, and writers of all stripes. I'm willing to meet people
halfway to get their work into the project.
Noted. My last remaining question, then, is what to do with the patch
I submitted for ticket:529.
http://laconi.ca/trac/ticket/529
This fixes a bug wherein linkifying pseudo-protocol URIs doesn't work
correctly, and it adds support for a few additional URI schemes. The
git patch is at
http://laconi.ca/trac/attachment/ticket/529/more-uri-schemes-plus-pseudo-protocols.git.patch
Now that I know to send future patches as merge requests on
Gitorious.org, I'll be doing that. (My newly created account is
"meitar" on Gitorious.) I just wanted to make sure that this one I
attached to Trac is on your radar, too.
Thanks,
