Git development
| Caution The information in this section is out of date but is kept for historical reasons. The relax source code is now hosted in a git rather than svn repository. |
Motivation
Subversion needs an online repository, to store each commits. Subsequent calls to svn diff > patch will generate the difference according to the last revision. Therefore the development at the moment, require to
- make some lines of code
- make a path file and a commit message
- use the support tracker to upload patch and commit message
- wait for acceptance
- wait for commit to official repository
- then do an svn update
- then return to point 1
This takes time, and require that repository maintainer is online.
If the above scheme is not followed, the patch files will come out of sync.
