Hello All,
I am a bit confused about how to make a branch on GCC SVN.
I've got some sources (see my home page) but it is buggy. Diego Novillo
told me gently (in private email) that I should make the branch (thanks
Diego).
I started a wiki page: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/MiddleEndLispTranslator
Legal stuff is done long time ago: I have "write after approval" status!
(thanks to Manuel López-Ibáñez for his editions on the wiki)
In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-02/msg00255.html I announced it.
In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-02/msg00256.html Gerald Pfeifer
suggested to announce it (but I thought already did) and to update the
web pages.
I am quite scared about messing up the CVS; I am much more easy with the
SVN.
Can I just start my branch with
svn cp svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gcc/trunk \
svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gcc/melt-branch
and then do the usual svn stuff (addition, etc...)
or is there some (either social or technical) step that I missed?
While I do make lot of bugs (and I am not entirely proud of my current
code), I really do not want to upset the GCC community!
I am a bit confused about this "making a branch" thing; I thought that
by definition it is some informal experiment, but I'm beginning to think
that it might be much more formal... and I don't grasp all the details!
Regards.
