The specific instructions on submitting patches are on the following page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/bugs.html
which is accessible from the page I quoted above. You need to use the
*unified* diff format, via one of the following commands:
cvs diff -u acme.java >> patchfile.txt
diff -u acme.java.orig acme.java >> patchfile.txt
and then add the patchfile as an attachment to an enhancement request (or
bug report) in the bug tracking system. The "cvs diff" version is
preferred, because it unambiguously identifies the version of the source
file that your patch is against -- if you use the regular "diff" command,
please be explicit about which version of the source you are patching.
