Hey all,

I'm trying to learn how to review Trac tickets,and am unfortunately failing at it. 


which corresponds to this trac ticket:

but I can't find anything in the interface that lets me do so. I see that the others have posted comments, such as this:


How do I post such a comment? 

Best,
~Siddharth

Hi,

you could ask for a trac acount as explained in the developer guide:

Ciao,

You need to login somehow.

You have previously logged in with your github account `gh-bollu`. This works as well. After you log in, the edit options will appear.

Of course you can also create a sage account, which also lets you edit https://wiki.sagemath.org/ and maybe you prefer not to link your activities with your github account.

Anyway, for reviewing tickets etc, both options work. However, most people decide on one account, so that people don't get confused.

Strange, I am logged in. Even so, I don't seem to be able to see the edit options? What exactly ought I edit?

Thanks a lot,
~Siddharth

Ah. Reading your message closely, I think I see the problem. What you are trying to do, is not possible.

If you want to give some comments about the code, you need to leave a comment on the corresponding trac ticket.

You can parse code in comments using curly brackets:

{{{
def foo(a, b):
    return a + b
}}}

One can also see the diff file nicely:

@@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ cell complexes.
sage/homology/algebraic_topological_model
sage/homology/homology_morphism
sage/homology/matrix_utils
+ sage/homology/finite_topological_spaces
sage/interfaces/chomp
}}}

It is also common to propose changes via a proposed diff:
(in this case propose to give a more descriptive name to a function.

{{{#!diff
- def foo(a, b):
+ def add(a, b):
     return a + b
}}}

Then it is rather easy to figure out for the author, what you are refering to.

The styling is mostly markdown, I guess. I learnt most things by pressing reply to a comment. Then, I can see the source code of what they wrote.

I hope that helps,

Jonathan
