When you submit your patch, try to send a unified diff (diff '-up' |
|
|
|
|
option). We cannot read other diffs :-) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also please do not submit patches which contain several unrelated changes. |
|
|
|
|
Split them into individual self-contained patches; this makes reviewing |
|
|
|
|
them much easier. |

Also please do not submit a patch which contains several unrelated changes. |
|

|
|
Split it into separate, self-contained pieces. This does not mean splitting |
|
|
|
|
file by file. Instead, make the patch as small as possible while still |
|
|
|
|
keeping it as a logical unit that contains an individual change, even |
|
|
|
|
if it spans multiple files. This makes reviewing your patches much easier |
|
|
|
|
for us and greatly increases your chances of getting your patch applied. |

Run the regression tests before submitting a patch so that you can |
|
|
|
|
verify that there are no big problems. |
