We are happy to help! It is actually easy. :) 1. Install git Available in most if not all Linux systems, as well as for Windows (get MsysGit) and surely also Mac OS. Likely in BSD too. 2. Configure git git config user.name "Marek Zizlavsky" git config user.email marekz...@gmail.com 3. Grab the latest libssh2 source code git clone git://git.stuge.se/libssh2.git 4. Make your suggested changes to the source files cd libssh2/src edit files 5. Review your changes git diff 6. Save all your changes in your local git database git commit -a (This will ask you to write a commit message. Please write a summary of your changes on the first line, and if you want to write more then first add a blank line and continue the message after that.) 7. Create the patches (one is created for each commit you have made) git format-patch origin 8. Email these patches as text/plain attachments to this list If there are no complaints, they are committed to the official repository. In order to save time it is always smart to do what you did - come to the list first and discuss a feature or a change, to find out what the general opinion is about it. If you communicate early you can save yourself time re-working the patches after community review. > Yes please, write the patch for me, if you can. Thank you. You will find that this doesn't always work so well. Feature requests are great for when developers have free time - but a patch is always worth more. :) > And I'll have to get in touch with libssh2 source code at first of > course...;-) I think you already did that, to find that variable in the struct. So you've really done all the work already. :) //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
