I don't know that difficult is the right word, I would call the process heavy handed and time consuming, especially relative to similar git workflows. I have heard the Galaxy developers say on multiple occasions the prefer pull requests coming using a dedicated clone though and this makes a lot of sense because branches stick around forever in mercurial. So I now use dedicated repositories for each of my pull requests. I am still trying to optimize my workflow, but here is a high level overview of my current process. We have a local version of Galaxy (lets call it msi-galaxy), if we want to push changes back I generally create a dedicated clone of galaxy-central on bitbucket for this change (say galaxy-central-feature1) and then export the desired revision/revisions as a patch from our local branch and import it in my feature clone. % cd msi-galaxy % hg export -r rev1 -r rev2 > /tmp/feature1.patch % cd .. % hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/jmchilton/galaxy-central-feature1 % cd galaxy-central-feature1 % hg import /tmp/feature1.patch % hg push Create pull request. Other tricks I have learned: Use ssh keys for bitbucket interactions instead of https, it seems considerably faster. You can add --no-commit to the import and then manually commit. This can let you map multiple changesets from your local branch to the feature clone (a poor man's rebasing I guess). The longest part of the process is the original clone down of the feature clones. So I have just started reusing old clones for this. - Rename galaxy-central-old-feature to galaxy-central-new-feature on bitbucket. - % cd galaxy-central-old-feature - % hg pull ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central # catch up with galaxy-central - Make changes - % hg push ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/jmchilton/galaxy-central-new-feature - Create pull request. The downside of this cheat is that previously accept pull requests now have source repository names associated with them in bitbucket, like this https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/pull-request/44/allow-usage-of-d.... -John ------------------------------------------------ John Chilton Senior Software Developer University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute Office: 612-625-0917 Cell: 612-226-9223 On Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 8:29 AM, Langhorst, Brad <Langhorst@neb.com> wrote:
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong… but I find it unusually difficult to put together a coherent pull request without doing a dedicated repo clone. maybe somebody who knows a good way to submit pull requests could populate this wiki page?

For a simple patch like yours, just pasting and sending your diff to the list works well:
%hg diff ...
For bigger patches/enhancements, a bitbucket fork + pull request is highly encouraged.
Best, J.

Hi All,
Today I found a bug relating to the file permissions in composite datatypes. When the extrafiles directory was created and the server was running through apache, the permission did not allow a galaxy user to download by following the HTML link. Found it was related to meta data files not using the os.chmod function to set the permissions of the user data in upload.py. Added that line of code and it works and the file permissions match that of other files in the database.
Somehelp with submitting a patch would be welcome ( although one line patch it would be helpful to me.)
