Setup git: $ git config --global user.name "John Bass" $ git config --global user.email "j...@johnbass.co.uk" Clone the owfs git repository from sf.net (or github, that's a mirror): Use gitk to get an overview about commits. $ git clone https://github.com/owfs/owfs.git $ cd owfs $ gitk& (later: pull the newest version with "git pull" instead) Bootstrap the repository to prepare it for your test compiles: $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure *** Apply your patches *** Do a test. $ make $ sudo make install Commit your patches: $ git commit -m "added support for DS2438 with 0xA6 family code" modules/owlib/... Export your patch in a format suitable for inclusion into the archive: $ git format-patch master --stdout <old_id>..<new_id> <old_id> and <new_id> are the SHA1 ids as shown by the git tools, e.g. gitk& Make the email subject read "[PATCH 1/1]: added support for DS2438 with 0xA6 family code" Give further explanations on the "why" on top of the email and end these with a line Signed-off: "John Bass <j...@johnbass.co.uk>" Then paste that patch into an email (not as an attachment, just a plain pasting). Disable automatic line-breaking. That's the procedure as used by the Linux kernel maintainers. We have far less patches than them so we can accept stray patches too, but adapting their procedure sure helps you to get patches accepted everywhere. It's just good practice.
