test typos

[spaette]

@luzpaz

You've made previous commits pertaining to typo fixes

So perhaps you could make an assessment if these warrant fixes and whether to modify copyrighted files.

I'm disinclined to open pulls in the Organization's repos owing to contact information being searchable in .mailmap files.

@spaette let me see if I understand, is the code you are referencing 3rd party upstream code?

From the grep output these specific repo files have copyrights.

The first listed file you modified in a commit merged on Aug 15, 2022.

If content from this ticket is of some use then maybe I'll look at some other subdirectories.

Are these upstream projects hosted on github perchance ? I'd submit typo changes to them in that case. If not, feel free to revert any changes made to their source.

Are these upstream projects hosted on github perchance ?

cf: LICENCE

The text "organizations who have edited" seems to indicate this repository is the upstream project. That being said perhaps it would be appropriate for a Member to review any PR modifying the cited files. As earlier indicated I won't be submitting any PRs, as I don't want my contact information accessible via search engines' indexing of .mailmap files.

@luzpaz All of these files are in the Open MPI repository. It's a little confusing because they're in a subdirectory named ompi/, but they're all here in open-mpi/ompi.

Just to clarify a bit. The "signed-off-by" requirement has a very long legal history in the open source software world. As a result, you'll find virtually every project requiring it. Basically, it protects the project from people who make a contribution that violates their employer's intellectual property agreement - i.e., the employer owns the person's work product and hasn't approved "giving it away" to the open source project.

Even students are generally covered by such agreements - colleges pretty much universally require they be signed, and even high schools have implemented them (at least, around here they have). Those agreements specify what IP you own and can contribute where/when you like, and what IP the employer owns and requires you gain permission prior to giving away - you need to know what it says.

It also protects the contributor by (hopefully) reminding them to check for an IP agreement and make sure they understand it prior to submitting a contribution. People often forget they signed such a thing - and employers can (and do) hold the employee responsible for "lost IP value".

The copyright is a separate matter. It allows the employer (or contributor, if they own their own IP) to flag that they have the right to use the modified code regardless of what anyone else does with it. If you and/or your employer don't care, then don't modify the copyright text. It has no value/impact for the project.

We do have bot "do not search" flags on things like mailmap, but of course those rely on the bot paying attention to them. What some of us do is simply create a new email (e.g. "[email protected]") specifically for contributing to open source projects. We can then just ignore that email should someone harvest it. Just don't use it for your GitHub account!

recursive grep for readd removed from earlier shell output and moved here

$ grep -nr readd ompi/test
ompi/test/class/opal_pointer_array.c:161:                test_failure("Add/Remove: failure during the readd ");
$ 

GNU sed commands (via script)

$ cat typos.sh

I filed #12749 for the fixes on main, and have cherry picked them to v5.0.x in #12754

I presume readd was the committer's intention.

$ sed -n '158,165p' ompi/test/class/opal_pointer_array.c
    for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
        if (!opal_pointer_array_add(array, (void *) (uintptr_t)(i + 1))) {
            if (i != 2) {
                test_failure("Add/Remove: failure during the readd ");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
