How to submit a patch
From Emergent
- All your patches are belong to us!
We love getting patches, and submitting one to us is really easy.
- Make sure the bug isn't already being worked on by looking to see if it's been assigned to anyone. If it has, you might want to e-mail that person first.
- Get the latest sources from our Subversion. We'll assume you have it in ~/emergent
- Hack the code to do what you want
- Test everything very carefully and be sure to consider possible side effects. If you can test your code on a completely different platform, that's a good idea.
- Now create a patch file. It works something like this:
cd ~/emergent/src/temt/ta; diff -u ta_type.h_ORIG ta_type.h > my.patch - Submit a ticket with the
patchtype, using the description field to give us a complete description of your patch and the environments it was tested on. Add the patch as an attachment. This will show up in our inboxes.
Thanks!
