[GSOC Update] Week 8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



================================= SUMMARY ==================================
My public git.git is available here[1]. I regularly keep pushing my work so
anyone interested can track me there. Feel free to participate in the
discussions going on PRs with my mentors. Your comments are valuable.


=============================== INTRODUCTION  ==============================
The purpose of this project is to convert the git-bisect utility which partly
exists in the form of shell scripts to C code so as to make it more portable.
I plan to do this by converting each function to C and then calling it from
git-bisect.sh so as to use the existing test suite to test the function which
is converted.

Mentors:
Christian Couder <chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>


================================== Updates =================================
Things which were done in this week:

 * I have converted check_and_set_terms(), bisect_next_check() and
   bisect_terms() and have also sent an RFC[7] to the
   mailing list for discussion which hasn't yet collected any comments. It is
   kind of important to discuss this as it uses a way to set the global
   variables in the script by writing it to a file and then reading it.

 * I have almost converted bisect_replay() and would be sending it out soon.

 * I have also sent a v3[6] of bisect-write[3] branch which contains
   bisect_clean_state(), bisect_reset(), bisect_write() functions.

================================= NEXT STEPS ================================
Things which would be done in the coming week:

 * Finish off bisect_replay().

 * Start with the elephant function bisect_start().

======================= My Patches (GSoC project only) ======================

 * check_term_format patch[5]. This is in pu branch and Junio requires more
   reviewers to support it so that it can be merged into next.

 * bisect_write patch[6]. This is the v3 in the series.

 * bisect_terms patch[7]. This is an RFC and open for discussions.
