Merging recent ODK Collect changes into cloned copy

Hi all,

I have a clone of the ODK Collect (rc1) and with the release of rc2 I
wondered if there is a way to merge in the RC2 code changes into my
cloned version? I realise there could be some conflicts which I'd need
to resolve.

I had a look in the team options in Eclipse and also in the setting
page of my clone on Google code (https://code.google.com/r/alextlittle-
dc-odk/) - but I couldn't see any information that helped me figure
this out.

I've actually made relatively minor changes in our code, so if the
answer is the I just need to create a new clone and apply my changes
then thats ok - but would be nice if there's a way to keep my clone up
to date with the changes in the core.

Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex

alex,

do an 'hg pull http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit.collect/' and then
merge the changes. if you didn't know about hg pull, you should read
http://hginit.com.

also, please send dev questions over to
opendatakit-developers@googlegroups.com. as the community grows, we
don't want to scare the normal people away with code emails :slight_smile:

Hi Alex

I also maintain a parallel fork of the Collect codebase. I basically made a
local clone of the collect code. I make my own changes to that code. I
occasionally pull the latest code from the server and resolve any conflicts
that occur manually. It's generally quite an easy process.
