Playing around with the various generated files (e.g. those on master, that get rsync'd to mirrors) is a little more fuss, but not much more than cloning master, running the scripts and cp-ing to your web clone. That said, it would be nice to have a VM or something (I've been thinking about this for the docs) to download and magically have a development env all set up. > > The code was already submitted a while back for this, but there's still a > few blockers for me. > 1) I can commit into the website repo, but I can't commit into the ' > master.php.net' repo. > 2) If I'm not granted commit access to master.php.net, then I need to be > able to make a Pull Request to it.

We worked for years with patches attached to emails. (This sounds far more blunt, as I'm reading this back, than I intended!) Apologies if I simply missed it, do you have an up-to-date patch for the different git repos that we can look over? If it's only on your laptop back at home, we can wait. > > Can someone sort this out either my commit karma, or github repos so I can > progress? I'm sure it's not a problem to grant you karma, but even if it was there are still plenty of people who do have karma and can commit patches. > > Many thanks, > Paul > > On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 1:54 PM, Eli <eli@eliw.com> wrote: > > > I'd like to make the point, once again, that we are supposed to be > > moving away from this system altogether :) > > > > For months now we've been waiting for the 'new system' that completely > > removes this task from us.
