Comment (by kcrisman):
> Ok, having instructions to just checkout a ticket and build Sage with it
would be useful if you a bugfix from a ticket. I would have put that into
the installation manual, but I guess it could go into the dev manual as
well. I don't think its useful to have review instructions at the top
though, if you have never authored a ticket then you shouldn't be
reviewing stuff.
Really? That is exactly the opposite of my strategy. My experience is
that a lot of people are very reluctant to add code (see all the very
tentative emails we get on this "is it good enough for Sage? where do I
submit it?") but reviewing (at least a partial review) is a great way to
see how things work. Probably a first-timer on review should have a
helping hand. But it's much easier to verify that especially fairly
routine bugs are fixed and doctested than to add things, lots of times.
There are fewer steps for reviewing, too. Of course there are many
tickets for which you don't want this (and people are usually extremely
hesitant to review tickets they feel unqualified for), but I've found it's
a sneaky way to get people to do more developing.
> I added the missing checkout command.
Thanks.
