Anyone is able to open a ticket in the Bigtop Jira here [0]. You will need to sign up for a username as as on the wiki. The rule of thumb here is to make an attempt to check if a similar ticket is already open before opening new tickets. You can make the changes to the Bigtop trunk code and generate a patch as follows
//make a new branch git checkout -b $ISSUE_NUMBER //make local changes and commit them git format-patch master --stdout > $ISSUE_NUMBER.patch Apply your patch to the issue you created in Jira. Folks can then apply your patch and run with it. I would like for some Bigtop PMC's to jump in here as maybe a feature branch for every patch is a bit of an overkill. hth [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 8:51 AM, Jay Vyas <[email protected]> wrote: > How can we apply this patch?
