Requesting an extension version update

Note this procedure is still under discussion.

  • Update the master branch of both your local clone and your online ExtensionsIndex fork
git add upstream git://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex   # Add reference to the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git fetch upstream                                         # Fetch change of the authoritative ExtensionsIndex
git checkout master                                        # Checkout master
git reset --hard upstream/master                           # Reset your local master branch using the authoritative master 
git push origin master                                     # Update the master branch of your online fork
  • Create a branch named update-<YourExtensionName> in the clone of your forked ExtensionsIndex
  • Regenerate the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file by configuring your extension with CMake
  • Commit the <YourExtensionName>.s4ext file to your cloned ExtensionIndex repository (provide a meaningful commit comment)
  • Push modifications to your ExtensionIndex fork on github
  • Submit a pull request to https://github.com/Slicer/ExtensionsIndex (provide a meaningful commit comment)
