I was thinking of some text on the download page, such as:
Code: Select all
Before you download, you may want to review recent _changes_ to the ImageMagick distribution. For the bleeding edge version, check the _source code repository_.
That link should point to a friendly interface, but since none of the UIs are as pretty as cgit/gitweb, it is probably better to link to
https://www.imagemagick.org/script/subversion.php which can then mention
http://trac.imagemagick.org/browser/ImageMagick/trunk and the Github mirror (taking Lemstra's comment into account).
A CONTRIBUTING document would also be more welcoming/helpful to new people like me.
"Does copied to github" mean manually making a patch, then applying it to svn? Git has pretty good svn integration:
Code: Select all
git svn clone --stdlayout https://subversion.imagemagick.org/subversion/ImageMagick
cd ImageMagick
# (make changes here, git add && git commit, or git am some.patch or git merge)
# publish change to subversion repo
git svn dcommit
# get updates
git svn fetch
AFAIK the author information is lost though, the user who checks out the svn repo will appear as committer. In that regard, git is better.
For those who cannot get used to git, github provides a svn interface to git repos as well:
https://help.github.com/articles/suppor ... n-clients/. Not trying to sound too pushy, I would just like to mention something for consideration.
