[Emc-developers] How Do I Check In My Changes?

[Kenneth L. <Ken...@se...>]

I've implemented named parameters (per my proposal), done some light =
testing, and would like to make it available to others for some more =
testing.

How do I commit it? Should I commit it to HEAD or should I create a new =
branch?

My personal opinion is that it should NOT be placed in HEAD unless there =
is a reasonable expectation that it will be included in a future =
release. That requires an action by the BOARD to approval part or all of =
my proposed changes.

On the other hand, I'd like to get this into the system ASAP to avoid =
the types of problems I had when Keith Rumley and I were both making =
changes to the same base. I had to go back and rework, rehash, and =
retest my oword code; which was not fun.

So...=20

1 -- Where should I commit it?

2 -- How do I do that? (I don't think I'm authorized to do that.) And I =
don't know how. (In the past, Alex Joni has walked me through the =
process.)

3 -- When should I do that?

Next on the list is named owords. I'd like to do this as a separate =
step, though.

After that, I think I'll try implementing comments that are logged and =
have embedded parameters.

Then maybe integrator defined canned cycles. -- I think this one is =
pretty easy.
