Hi all, Could anyone describe what is the proper way to contribute to R? So far I was going over r-bugs and trying to write patches for bugs I can fix. My questions is should I also send an email to somebody?
It seems that for some old bugs Bugzilla does not send emails. For example, I went over an old bug #412 and most of it is fixed. I left a comment about its current status and Bugzilla notified me that no email has been sent. Also, I would really like to get a feedback on the proposed patch to bug #15211. It would be interesting to see the patch logistic, since the bug is in Lapack code, not in R itself. The "developers" page is more for svn committers. And I am feeling a bit lost here. If there are casual contributors on this list, could you sent the best practice description, please? Better still would be to document it somewhere. -- Aleksey ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
