Hi, folks. As I wrote in another post, I ask you to share your knowledge on patch testing. I've made a wiki page: http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_testing_howto Please expand the list below, by answering in the email or by editing the wiki, whichever way you prefer.
Let me say here what I know: == Maintainer's viewpoint == * Have read code? * Tested in which circumstance? OS, linux distro, etc. * Which points are examined? * The patched part of code is really executed? == Tester's tips == * How to apply the patch elegantly. (For lisp patches, I, Teika, make a backup copy of lisp dir, and make two dirs, 'trunk' and 'test' as non-root. Make a symlink from the original to 'sawfish' in my private dir, and another symlink 'sawfish' chooses 'trunk' or 'test'.) * things like this often help: (format standard-error "last-command: \"%s\"\n" last-command) writing such elementary stuff may help to acquire new testers. Thanks in advance. Teika kazura
