[Javapathfinder-devel] GSoC repository policies

[Peter C. M. <Pet...@na...>]

Hi GSoC'ers,

Since Taehoon brought it up, here's the answer reg. how we handle  
repository access: "it depends" (<quote>Back off, man. I'm a  
scientist</quote>)

More specifically, the mentors will decide this on a per-project  
basis, with the following options:

  (a) work on a separate project repository that only uses JPF binaries
      (preferably new Sourceforge project, under open source license)

  (b) work on JPF trunk but in sandbox (JPF extension)
      NO unannounced changes to core!
      NO commits that don't compile!

  (c) work on public JPF branch,
      merge down is responsibility of student,
      merge up is responsibility of mentor

  (d) work on private copy of repository,
      submit patches to mentor (who merges into trunk)


I'm pretty agnostic as to what option to choose, as long as we

  - don't end up with tons of branches
  - don't get any surprise core changes
  - don't break the trunk build with extension commits

The overall goal is that we don't step on each others toes, don't  
break JPF for other users, minimize merge efforts, and maximize  
student exposure (after all, who does all the goodies deserves the  
public credit).

Students - please discuss with your mentors

Mentors - please let me know who needs repository access, and make  
sure everybody who does has a Sourceforge account
