After you've applied your source changes, you run make again (in the build tree).

You may choose whatever method suits you best; I normally use sftp. Just be sure to upload everything which appears in your mingw-dist/build/*/unpublished directories. Then, when you've confirmed that everything has been safely uploaded, you may delete the content of those. > I never looked into the mingw cvs/git repo before.

We'll also need to augment the existing .cvsignore with a .gitignore, (and perhaps also a .hgignore). > Or else somebody else must check in the xml files I uploaded to FRS. No. It's better if you can do it yourself. It's also a good idea for you to push promptly, (and to always pull immediately before each batch of updates), lest two of us happen to modify the same source within a common update interval, and induce an issue number race. -- Regards, Keith. |
