I had some time and finished updating gr-trellis with serial/parallel  
encoders  
and decoders.  
I also refactored all heavy-duty algorithms ()such as viterbi, siso,  
turbo, etc)  
and used templates for simplicity.

I have these updates on branch “turbo” on my github site:  
[https://github.com/anastas/gnuradio\_turbo.git](https://github.com/anastas/gnuradio_turbo.git)

What is the process for submitting those for merging with master?

thanks  
Achilleas

You are about 90% of the way there. I’ll take it from here, check over  
the code, and merge it in.

Thanks!

Tom,

sounds great.  
BTW, the correct address is

[https://github.com/anastas/gnuradio\_turbo](https://github.com/anastas/gnuradio_turbo)

Also,  
there was a related email I sent earlier regarding  
.gitignore and automatically generated files.  
I would really like to get your feedback on this  
because I am not sure I understand all the intricacies of git…  
I reattach the question below.

thanks  
Achilleas

=============  
I am looking at the file Makefile.gen inside gr-trellis/src/lib  
which says that is automatically generated.  
This is indeed true since when i delete it and make  
gr-trellis it correctly generates it with all additions, etc  
that are implied by the file generate\_trellis.py

However if I delete it and try to do ./bootstrap (on the whole project)  
then automake reports an error  
automake: cannot open \< gr-trellis/src/lib/Makefile.gen: No such file  
or directory

I came across this issue when i decided to put Makefile.gen in the  
.gitignore and not track it  
since it is machine generated…

What is the explanation of this behavior?  
Shouldn’t all automatically generated files not be tracked by git?
