Hi Ed,
I'm not sure of what exactly you want me to do, but here is a patch for
correcting this bug in the consistency_tests code.
patch_l1.2_r3530_bug_10323_consistency_tests
That gets me to two questions I want to ask you...
1.
When do you plan to integrate the consistency_tests code into the main
stream ?
I think it's quite ready now for the 1.2 branch. Maybe some errors could be
found, but more likely by new users... Also, for the things I would like to
add
(like 'multiple fields at once' or 'automatic report including graphs and
scores') it will be better in the 1.3 branch.
If you think this code is ready (to me it looks fine to integrate now),
then we can merge the branch now. The way to do this would be to first
use svnmerge to apply all of the changes which have occurred in the 1.2
line to the branch. Svnmerge needs to be initialised on your branch,
and then all revisions merged. Once the branch and the 1.2 line are in
sync, then the branch can be merged back into the 1.2 line. This
svnmerge program makes things much simpler than that described in the
development chapter of the relax manual. Oh, before the merger I would
like to release relax 1.2.12 with the fixes to bugs #10320 and #10323
(https://gna.org/bugs/?10320 and https://gna.org/bugs/?10323).
If you like, I would suggest for you to apply to become a relax
developer with commit access to the SVN repositories. This will allow
you to commit your changes yourself and to have full access to modify
relax, the web pages, the bug tracker, the task tracker, etc. If you
would like to become a committer, I will then put it to vote on the
relax-devel mailing list. Please make sure to read all the relax
development chapter to be familiar with the processes involved. With
this access you'll be able to merge the branch yourself (it's a very
simple task).

If I would like to work on the 1.3 branch for the consistency_tests code,
would
it be better to first sync the files so they are all up to date (when
compared
with the main stream of the 1.3 line). I have not touched the 1.3
consistency
tests branch since you copied it from the 1.3 line, so now a lot of
differences
exists...
The svnmerge program is the way to get this branch back into sync. It
really makes life much easier, I use it to back-port bug fixes from the
1.3 line to the 1.2 line. For branches, all of the changes which
occurred to the line the branch originates from must be merged.
