Hi Guys,
I already saw that you changed the instruction for external
contributors. I think this paragraph is still not very clear:
git diff is the best way to do this. Please don't send modified
source files (i.e. "GearyApplication.vala"), this is not a good
way to deliver a patch to us. To generate a patch from a branch,
first make sure that you've checked in your code (see above.)
Now create a diff against the master branch:
I think this version is better, short and clear:
To submit a patch as an external developer (not in the yorba
team), use git diff. Post the output of the command as a comment
to the bug. After review, we will add the patch to the
repository. For external developers it is not yet possible to
submit a patch via git push.
If you want want to write it in particular that developers shouldn't
post the whole file write something like this (the above confused me a
lot):
Please also don't send us the whole source file, the diff
command will output only the changes - that's enough.
cheers
meles
