My Way to play with master and 5.x branches

Note : here is presented a generic way to set up a git repository in order to be able to push into Scilab sources. Therefore, you must adapt master/5.x to the relevant version you're working on.

Get the repositories

[SHELL] mkdir ~/repositories
[SHELL] cd ~/repositories

# master branch
# =======================================================
[SHELL] git clone ssh://firstname.lastname@git.scilab.org:29418/scilab master


# 5.x branch
# =======================================================
[SHELL] git clone ssh://firstname.lastname@git.scilab.org:29418/scilab 5.x
[SHELL] cd 5.x
  # Create a local 5.x branch
[SHELL] git branch 5.x refs/remotes/origin/5.x
  # CheckOut this branch
[SHELL] git checkout 5.x
  # We don't need the master branch in this repository anymore :
[SHELL] git branch -D master

Configure, Compilation, etc ...

Note : according to the branch you're developing on, those prerequirements can change. Particularly, there used to be a libs folder, which doesn't exist anymore, and a java folder appeared. Folder indicated in this page are for the master version and for the last branch of the Scilab 5 family.

Note bis: after the 5.4.1 version, the repositories for unix systems have been change to 'linux' (instead of Linux, for 32 bits) and macosx (instead of MacOSX). Windows, Windows_x64 and linux_x64 haven't changed.

Most of the Scilab dependencies are packaged in the major Linux distributions (and Mac OS X packaging system). See: Dependencies of Scilab 5.X

Fix a bug in the 5.x branch and merge the 5.x branch into the master branch

[SHELL] cd ~/repositories/5.x

  # Just check the branch
[SHELL] git branch
