Hello, I have a newbie question about patch creation when there are file renames involved. I am working on a fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1586 , which involves renaming a couple of files.
As suggested on https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute#Generating_a_patch , I did following: 1) Created a shell script which has the 'svn mv' commands 2) Ran the script and then made necessary changes 3) Created the diff using this command: "svn diff --no-diff-selected --notice-ancestry > YARN-1586.patch' The idea is to submit both the shell script and the patch as suggested. I tried to test this patch using 'dev-support/test-patch.sh' on a fresh checkout of hadoop-trunk, but it fails to apply because it does not find the new files to apply the patch on. Creating the patch before doing 'svn mv' also does not work, because now the test-patch.sh applies it cleanly but fails during build. I looked up online and tried a few suggestions but that did not seem to help. So, how should the patch be created so test-patch.sh and thus jenkins automation shall be happy? Am I missing something obvious here? Kindly let me know. Thank you! Regards, Abhiraj
