Hello Simar, Here a few additional guidelines/tips for submitting patches:
- I see in your patches that you based yourself on my personal github lttng-tools repository to prepare your patches. This repository might be lagging behind the official one, hence I would suggest using the official git repository to prepare your patch. You can find them in "Git Repositories" in the Download [1] section on the lttng website. - Add the following at the end of your commit message: Fixes #453 This will automatically close the bug #453 in the bug tracker when your patch is merged :). - Indicate in the patch subject on which project the patch is to be applied. In your particular case, the patches need to be applied on the lttng-tools tree. You can accomplish this with the '--subject-prefix' option when using the git format-patch command: git format-patch -s -1 --subject-prefix="PATCH lttng-tools" - Add your signoff in the patch. Use the '-s' option when using git format-patch. - Send the patch to the maintainer of the project and CC the list. In your case, David Goulet (dgoulet at efficios dot com) is the maintainer of lttng-tools. You can accomplish this with the following git send-email command: git send-email --to maintainer_email --cc list_email *.patch If you want to discuss a project proposal, you can join us on IRC on the OFTC network in the #lttng channel.
