Hi all, To develop the metapost driver, I did an svn checkout (R-2-4-branch revision 40647) as instructed in http://developer.r-project.org/SVNtips.html i.e., I did a, svn co $REPOS/branches/R-2-4-branch r-release-branch/R Not being a core developer, can I just commit the changes? Am I on the right branch? Most of the work is in devPS.c, but there are also some documentation changes (e.g, Devices.Rd). Cheers Geoff Russell P.S. The driver isn't quite finished but I thought I'd ask now, in case I was working on the wrong branch!
How to upload metapost driver ?

It is best to prepare a package with your work, as other authors of graphics devices have done. Only work maintained by the core developers goes into the main source, and we don't have an metapost gurus to maintain it, AFAIK.

Not for developing R itself, but you are not doing that. All new material goes into the trunk, and patches are then transferred to the active R-patched branch.
