Greetings,

I have been trying to figure out what the best way to work with ONNV
when making changes.

Right now, I have a workspace directory with the tarballs for b72
extracted within.

My process looks like this:
1) change / add the files relevant to what I'm doing

2) copy the changed / added files to my mercurial checkout of the ONNV gate

3) generate a diff using "hg diff" from the root

4) post a text file describing the change, testing, etc. along with
the relevant .patch file (containing the diffs)

5) dump my temporary workspace copy

6) re-extract the source drop

7) revert my mercurial checkout of the ONNV gate

This seems rather tedious to do for every change. What do you folks do
when making changes to ONNV? Do you work / build nightlies out of your
mercurial directory? Do you commit them to a local mercurial
repository? If so, can you tell me what setup you have?

I haven't found the "sweet spot" yet to make this process easier. When
I was originally making contributions, the mercurial gate wasn't even
up yet, so I just worked with an original extracted copy of the source
tree and a working copy of the source tree from tarballs.

Suggestions are welcomed,
