[GSOC Update] Week 10

[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 from
   the list. Some discussion is happening on github and I will send out the
   patched when the dust settles.

 * I have converted bisect_start() but there is a bug which I am still working
   on.

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

 * Finish off bisect_start().

 * bisect_next() has become a top priority because it would then help
   converting bisect_auto_next() and then it can be called by other important
   functions like bisect_start().

 * Following that I will convert bisect_auto_start()

 * Then bisect_replay().

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

 * check_term_format patch[5]. This is in pu branch. The topic is pb/bisect.

 * bisect_write patch[6]. This is the v3 in the series. This has some minor
   nits as provided by Lars and I will send out a re-roll soon. This is also
   in the pu branch and is applied on top of pb/bisect.

 * bisect_terms patch[7]. This is an RFC and open for discussions. It would
   be very helpful if you can review it over github[8] as my mentors have also
   provided some comments.

============================= Notification ==================================
I will be travelling to my university campus from 14th July to 15th July so
I won't be available. I will resume my work after that.
