[SAGA-RG] saga core errata

[Livesey, P (Paul)]

Hi Andre,

A couple of corrections/comments

P37 of the markup document, it says intentation rather than indentation

P38 there's some slight ambiguity.

<Quoting>
Error message of the thrown (top level) exception MUST include information about the other (lower level) exceptions.

In the exception list returned by get_all_exceptions(), the top level (thrown) exception MUST be included again, as first member of the list, to allow for a uniform handling of all exceptions. To avoid infinite recursion, however, that copy MUST NOT have any subexceptions, i.e. the list returned by a call to get_all_exceptions() MUST be empty. ....
</Quote>

This brings up the question of what the error message *should* be for the copy of the top level exception in the list.  Should it also contain information about the lower level exceptions which it no longer has?

Regards,

Paul.

Hi folx, 

I have no doubt that there is a fundamental reason why the
German language has such a large number of proverbs which
literally inspire procrastination ("Gut Ding braucht Weile",
"Was lange waehrt wird gut", "Rom wurde auch nicht an einem
Tag gebaut", usw.

In anyway, that is what you have to blame for the long delay
of the errata release of the SAGA core spec: my German
genes... ;-)

So, attached is the pdf which has all errata known to date
incorporated, and marked.  Also attached is a version which
has the markup removed, a changelog, and the original ERRATA
file from CVS, which documents the errata we received.

Please comment!  But as the errata have already been discussed
during the last two OGF meetings, I would also like to
declare this as a final call on the SAGA mailing list:
unless there are significant comments, I'll submit the doc
to the OGF editor after one week.

BTW: thanks to Mathijs, Paul, Hartmut, Steve, Ole, Joao,
Thilo, Ceriel, and PFA for reporting spec errors (hope I did
not forget anybody...).

Many thanks for your patience, best wishes, 

  Andre.


PS.: We have two SAGA sessions scheduled for OGF-26.
