Tis not too difficult, and there are plenty willing to help from wix-devs. http://wixtoolset.org/development/
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixdev/ Skeleton cliff notes are: 1) Join wix-devs 2) Sign the assignment agreement 3) Fork the git repository on codeplex (https://wix.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest) 4) Clone your fork (git clone https://git01.codeplex.com/forks/<username>/<fork name>) 5) Checkout the branch you want to work on (git checkout -b origin/wix39) << This creates a local branch for tracking the origin/wix39 branch, and then checks it out. 6) Create a feature branch (git branch uberfeature) 7) Check out feature branch (git checkout uberfeature) 8) Make changes 9) Commit changes (git add ..., git commit -m "Uber feature!" 10) Push changes to your fork (git push origin uberfeature) At that point, you could go to codeplex and submit a pull request. If uberfeature is behind the upstream/wix39 branch, then there may be a need to add an upstream and merge those commits into your origin/wix39 and local wix39 branches. From there, my preference is to rebase uberfeature on the updated wix39 branch and push it. -----Original Message----- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2014 1:16 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to get package version using burn API >>>Wish someone would help improve the WiX toolset instead of everyone >>>doing workarounds. I am very interested in doing that, however aside from some sickness in the family that took me offline last week, I am still struggling with understanding the git push - pull process. I hear that the way I download the source from codeplex as a zip package is "unsupported" (but it also builds works for me). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-get-package-version-using-burn-API-tp7591717p7591752.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
