I have been as guilty as anyone at this, but I think it will be good for us to be careful to keep the branch and trunk in sync vis-a-vis bugfixes where it makes sense as much as is possible. To date, I have been fixing them in one place or another and Michael has been doing a good job merging things in, but we should all try and help him in these efforts. I have updated the CODING_GUIDE (in the branch and merged onto the trunk, woohoo!) with instructions. Here they are:
* Keep the maintenance branch and trunk in sync where it makes sense. If there is a bug on both that needs fixing, use svnmerge.py to keep them in sync. http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py. The basic procedure is: - install svnmerge.py in your PATH - get a svn copy of the branch (svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/branches/v0_91_maint) and the trunk (svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib) - Michael advises making the change on the branch and committing it. Make sure you svn upped on the trunk and have no local modifications, and then from the svn trunk do # where the NNN are the revision numbers. ranges also acceptable > svnmerge.py merge -rNNN1,NNN2 # this file is automatically created by the merge command > svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
