The Axiom source downloads from
http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/downloads/axiom-jan2009-src.tgz
contain not only the sources but a complete git tree. Thus, you can keep up
to date with the silver development (experimental, pre-release) by doing
the following:
(get the sources and git tree)
wget http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/downloads/axiom-jan2009-src.tgz
(unpack the sources)
tar -zxf axiom-jan2009-src.tgz
(go to the top of Axiom)
cd axiom
(tell git to fetch and merge the latest commit changes)
git pull (the magic word is linus)
Any time a patch is announced you can bring your copy up to date with a
git pull.
In general, I try not to "break the build" so every posted patch is
compiled from scratch and all tests are run before posting. However,
given that I do this work into the wee hours of the morning I make no
guarantees.
If you fix anything, such as a change to the file src/place/foo.file
you would do:
(make sure you are at the top of axiom)
cd axiom
(tell git what changed, could be multiple adds)
git add src/place/foo.file
(tell git to commit the changes)
git commit -m"fixed foo"
(tell git to make a diff -Naur patch file)
git diff HEAD^ HEAD >foo.patch
(post it to the list and copy me)
mail -s "foo fix" -c address@hidden address@hidden <foo.patch
