Subject: How to submit a patch for Ruby SWIG bindings?<br>To: SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum <<a href="mailto:sword-devel@crosswire.org">sword-devel@crosswire.org</a>><br><br></span>Hello,<br><br>I've been working on adding Ruby language support to the existing SWIG
<br>bindings. So far, the autoconf part is nearly done and I've been<br>working on fixing the API linkage where SWIG fails to translate or<br>doesn't do so in an optimal manner. For API docs, I've been writing a<br>skeleton Ruby file that can be processed with Ruby's rdoc utility.
<br>Thus far, I've been copying over the C++ Doxygen comments and then<br>reformatting them into rdoc format.<br><br>Questions:<br>* When ready, should I just submit a patch to the list or is there<br>some other procedure?
<br>* Would it be better to submit more than one smaller patch or one jumbo patch?<br>* Since refining and testing the API is going to take some time, would<br>it make sense to create an svn branch to work in? I'd like to also
<br>create unit tests and have a place for the API rdoc file to live.<br>* Is there anyone listening who's supporting SWIG bindings to the<br>other languages? My changes shouldn't affect any of the other<br>languages but it wouldn't hurt to have someone test and make sure.
<br><br>Thanks,<br>-Bill<br><br>
