Workflow

(See also https://www.swi-prolog.org/howto/Pack.txt)

If you change the github location, you'll need to send a message to Jan Wielemaker jan@swi-prolog.org to update the URL pattern to `https://github.com/<user>/edcg/*` or similar.

• `git clone https://github.com/kamahen/edcg.git`
  • Only needed once.
• Verify the remote: `git remote -v`
• `find t -name '*.pl' | xargs -L1 swipl -g run_tests -g halt`
• Update version in files:
  • History.md
  • pack.pl
• `git commit -m'...' -a`
• `git tag v0.9.x`
• `git push`
• `git push --tags`
• Verify the new release is in `https://github.com/kamahen/edcg/releases`
• swipl
  • pack_remove(edcg).
  • pack_install('https://github.com/kamahen/edcg/archive/v0.9.x.zip').
  • pack_remove(edcg).
  • pack_install(edcg). % Should get the new version
• Wait an hour, verify https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/list?p=edcg

Discussions

Discussion about modules and multi-file directives in edcg.pl: https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/using-consult-in-a-directive-to-load-source-code-it-puzzles-me/2081

Discussion about the ==>> extension and guards: https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/dcgs-with-single-sided-unification/3768

Note that logtalk has its own port, which avoids the edcg:pred_info multifile predicates.
