Phoenix progress

Hi Robin,

How can I and others help to get Phoenix closer to an official release?

The obvious solution is to clone you a few times, but it is just not yet working:-) .

Odd this wasn’t responded to. In Google groups wxPython-dev there was

this post: “Contribute code to wxPython?” Michael Hipp 02/07/14
and this post: “How can I help?” Tomas Schertel 3/27/12

additionally:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/ProjectPhoenix
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxPython/

However I have, as of yet, been unable to successfully contribute. I’m on Windows XP with a Pent4 (old version) and the MS-GIT desktop app is incompatible with Windows XP. and the Clone to Desktop button at github just errors for me. I am leery of which to use Push or Pull commands. I’m not a C or C++ contributor, I only do Python now as my C skills are as forgotten as my long gone colorful head of hair.

Next I’ll reinstall the command line git tools.

additionally:
ProjectPhoenix - wxPyWiki
http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxPython/
GitHub - wxWidgets/Phoenix: wxPython's Project Phoenix. A new implementation of wxPython, better, stronger, faster than he was before.

However I have, as of yet, been unable to successfully contribute. I'm on
Windows XP with a Pent4 (old version) and the MS-GIT desktop app is
incompatible with Windows XP.

well, XP is getting pretty crufty...

and the Clone to Desktop button at github just errors for me.

that's what it will do if you don't have a working GitDesktop app going.
But many (most) people use a command line git client with github anyway.

I am leery of which to use Push or Pull commands. I'm not a C or C++
contributor, I only do Python now as my C skills are as forgotten as my
long gone colorful head of hair.

Well, regardless of language, git and gitHub are tools really worth using!

Next I'll reinstall the command line git tools.

that's the way to go -- always worked for me, though I haven't used XP in a
while.

good luck -- git is actually pretty great once you get used to it.

Maybe time for a new PC:)
Have you tried TortoiseGit, ,
it lists XP SP3 as the minimum. It integrates nicely into the
Explorer.
In the past I have done a some PR’s against Robin’s github,
, which I think is what Robin’s
likes to get.
So my question was more how to go on from there to help Robin.

  • maybe other person(s) reviewing the PR’s, so he can apply it with
    less review work for him - …
    Werner P.S.
    Hopefully SVN will be soon retired and the main repo be on GIT and
    then maybe use something like Travis CI which automatically runs
    defined tests against the PR - see for example the matplotlib repo -

Prior to reading these replies I forked the repo at github. Should I delete it? After forking, I came across a post somewhere that the Phoenix demo had patches for Python 3.0 posted somewhere by someone (werner, chris or mike D?)?

It wasn’t me, but it might have been Metallicow (sp?). He was doing a lot of Phoenix work earlier this year and then kind of disappeared. I haven’t helped much with Phoenix, but I have helped with docs on other projects on github and for those I just edited / forked the file that needed editing rather than the whole repo. Then I did a PR and that seemed to work fine for me.

Hi,

Don't delete it, you need a fork.

- fork from Robin's repo
- clone your fork to your PC
- create a branch
- commit things
- push to your fork
- create a PR on Robin's repo (I think you get asked to do this after the push if you use TortoiseGit)

After Robin makes updates to the repo you need to sync your fork - see https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/

After forking, I came across a post somewhere that the Phoenix demo had patches for Python 3.0 posted somewhere by someone (werner, chris or mike D?)?

There are some PR's relating to the demo and wx.lib here:
https://github.com/RobinD42/Phoenix/pulls
