Helloooooo Everybody !

I just noticed that I had stopped (or slowed down) working on Sage recently, because it feels like whatever you write cannot be reviewed and will not be merged anyway. Soooooooooooooo I wondered : what is preventing us from starting to make GIT releases right now ? It really feels like no Sage development can occur until git patches begin to be merged into releases, so perhaps we could just skip the development scripts (as some of us already began to work on patches using git manually) and see what happens this way ? It's not like we cannot work without those scripts, and well.... It would be nice if we could continue to work on Sage in the meantime :-P

Though of course there may be other required things that I am not aware of ?...

Have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun !!

I think we need some more time to finish up the documentation and dev scripts. Andrew and I will be at the sage days in UC Davis in a month, so that would be a good point to start making a sage-git release. Realistically, it should probably be done by one of us two anyways (unless somebody else volunteers).

In the meantime you can just keep working on git branches. As long as you don't introduce unnatural dependencies (merge unrelated tickets) you'll be fine. And nobody stops you from reviewing tickets ;-)

Hmmmm.... Okay.

I began to lose hope when my "green light" patches switched to "red light".

http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15044

On which commit should I base them so that the patchbot accepts them ? :-P

Don't rely on the patchbot too much for now, there are stills some kinks to be ironed out I think.

The reason why your branch on #15044 is broken is that cc9d0c3c814ffcd464765b0d24ff835062bef587 has merge conflict markers checked in.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks !!

I just rebased the loooooong sequence 15044 - 15049 - 15054 :-)
