Due to the modest volume of patches we get on the mailing list and
because all recent patches that have come in are rather hairy, I am
writing up a summary of how to create patches for the mailing list.
Diffing
===================================
Use 'diff -u' or 'cvs diff -u' from within the Libs/ClanLib-0.5 directory.
This is contextual diff, it provides more information so it easier to
examine the changes before applying.
Submitting
===================================
Patches should be compressed (not everybody in on cable or DSL)
Prefered formats are: Gzip, Zip. In that order as Gzip provides
superior compression.
Please submit patches using our sourceforge patch tracker:
* go to www.clanlib.org
* click on "Patches"
* fill in Category (ClanLib/Hermes)
* fill in Group (0.5.0, 0.5.1, 0.5.2, Current CVS etc)
* fill in the summary
* fill in the detailed description
* last but not least!!! *CHECK* "Upload & Attach File",
browse to the file and <SUBMIT>
Describing
===================================
You should describe what your patch does. Please no 'This fixes a bug'.
Tell us which bug, in what component. Generally, be descriptive without
being needless verbose.
