don't worry about the patch fail message on jenkins as it currently only patches against trunk
The standard development process for is -use Git, with git.apache.org the read-only repository -branch for each JIRA issue, trunk & branch-1 for the asf versions e.g https://github.com/steveloughran/hadoop-trunk -update against trunk with git pull --rebase -test locally before submitting -create a patch with git diff --no-prefix trunk/branch-1, depending on what the patch is to go against ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amir Sanjar <v1san...@us.ibm.com> Date: 13 November 2012 19:34 Subject: need help submitting patches To: common-dev@hadoop.apache.org an stupid question :) I am porting few unit test testcases from Junit3 to Junit4 specification. However having issues trying to upstream patches, causing build break. For example https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4779.. BTW, I used "svn diff xxxx" to create the patch, any suggestion is appreciated . Best Regards Amir Sanjar
