[Info-Ingres] Ingres Janitors

[Martin Bowes]

Hi Andrew,

Oh this is friggen great mate! That's exactly what I want to hear! So
I'm definitly up for working with you on this.

I'm particularly interested in the mechanics of getting a bug or
enhancement request through the system from start to end. For example if
I gave you a diff for the file(s) that I thought fixed a problem, or
created a new feature, how would you propose to test and finally
incorporate them into the code stream? 

At the moment I'm playing with fixing the tups_per_page problem
mentioned earlier on this thread. I should have a solution fairly
shortly. If I just email to you the diff files would you find that
useful?

Hi All,

This topic is near and dear to my heart for many reasons. I've been
the fellow integrating the vast majority of Karl's updates, and I'm
also the guy who introduced Klocwork (aka. nifty bug finding tool) to
Ingres.

One of the current things I'm working on is a way to make it easier to
contribute to Ingres. Some of you have been in touch with me about
this.

We are looking at the code repository, email lists, bug tracking, and
other factors. I can't promise miracles daily but I can promise we'll
head in the right direction, listen to good ideas, and make things
progressively better. In the meantime, we're doing a lot of the
legwork to accept patches from contributors and integrate them through
email. Be assured we're motivated to improve this.

I have bugs found by Klocwork that need review and fixing. If you are
interested in working with us, please contact me. I am
andrew.ross at youknowwhere. I'm happy to carve off a few for you to look
at and very grateful for any contributions.

Thank you,

Andrew
