Hi,
I had emailed on here a few days back asking for some help so that I
can contribute to SCons. I'm grateful for the response and I read the
guides that I was directed to.
I read up to chapter 8 of the documentation beyond which it was
getting a tad bit complicated for me. I shall absolutely get back to
it later (college end semester exams coming up!). I also looked around
on the other links (man page, developer's guide).
I checked the bug marked 'easy' on tigris and I found this one which
I'd like to fix - http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2494.
Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea what I should do next to go
about fixing the same. What do I do next?
the next steps for you would be:
- ensuring that you can run your forked version of the repo (see
README.rst in top-level folder)
- running a full regression test with "python runtest.py -a"
- finding the "Chmod" method in the sources
- ensuring that it's the right place you've found, for example by
adding a simple print statement to it
- changing the "Chmod" to show the wanted behaviour
- running the regression test again, to ensure that you didn't break
anything
- adapting/adding tests and documentation for the new/changed
functionality
- create your pull request
or something along those lines.
Best regards,
Dirk
