Where to report bugs or feature requests? Or how to make pull request?

[Tommi Prami 130]

Fast search did not give me any help for this. Is this OK place for feature requests/ bugs or is there better place?  

 

-Tee-

PS. Oh, seems to be SourceForge, maybe? Which is not super nice, but It'll do if that is preferred place 🙂

SVN. Why "not super nice"?

https://gexperts.dummzeuch.de has a menu "GExperts" which looks like this ...

 

 

... and links to pages that in turn have links to:

 

https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/bugs/

and

https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/feature-requests

respectively.

 

The bug report / feature request dialog in GExperts also links there.

 

Regarding pull requests: Since this is not github, there is no such thing. If you want to contribute, post a feature request  or bug report and attach a patch or, if you prefer that, an archive with the the changed sources.

 

If you plan to contribute regularly, you can get write access to the svn reqository.

 

@Daniel Would it be possible to make a sticky post in this forum with this information?

Mainly because SVN doesn't support pull requequests. Make s harder to make an batch (possible but not that automated I think)

That would only make a difference if I received more than one patch per month. Currently I'm not even getting that "many". I doubt that switching to Github would result in more. It didn't work for other Delphi related projects, as far as I can see.

This really starts making sense in case of intensive user additions. If they are rare, sending patches aka diffs is the good-old way proved by decades.
