Sometimes people report bugs and/or post patches on these lists and for whatever reason they are never properly addressed. Discussion on the list is great, but it is all too easy for the e-mails move out of sight. The mail arrives all too quickly. The best action you can take to avoid the bit bucket for your bug reports and patches is to open a problem report at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/. If a patch is associated with it, once you create the bug report go back to the report to attach the patch and add "PatchAvailable" to the keywords field.
Jeff, thanks for that. Having seen a couple of patches fall into a black hole - and one recently get committed - it had been in the back of my mind to ask about attaching patches to a bug report. Now you've answered for me, I'll do that in future.
Perhaps that should go into the developer docs?
sounds reasonable to me ;)
if you start at
* httpd.apache.org click on "Developer Info" under Get Involved click on "code patches" under Feedback and contributions the section "Submitting your Patches" mentions this very problem
but from
* apr.apache.org click on "Contributing" under Guidelines to get to information on patches but the "Submitting your Patches" section does not suggest creating a bugzilla PR to make sure it is noticed
Any folks mind if I update the APR "Submitting your Patches" section to use text similar to that at
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html
???
