Which is why I made the rewrite code able to run from the checkout fully and properly. Just cd into the directory, run "source ./testpath" and it's will run completely from the checkout. > What I mean is that I don't want to turn down contributions from new > developers because there's a big backlog of work that hasn't gone > upstream. > I don't want to discourage others either. It is just much better to encourage some help on the rewrite in my opinion. Especially since patches 2 & 3 have already been done in the rewrite branch. Some of patch 4 might have been done already, but likely not all. If the rewrite is to take over from the master branch... The rewrite is not far from being able to take over as master. There are a few rebase errors in the rewrite-on-master you did. There is some cleanup work to do on the autoresume operation. Then a little more testing with the tree defaults relocated to ensure I haven't missed any hard coding. The default tree location move is waiting on the catalyst rewrite code to go live producing stages, etc..
