Generating a patch

In the case you want to submit a patch, please, consider the following:

  1. Do not change current file encoding. At this moment it is used utf-8 with \n for new lines. This applies especially for windows users that may produce patches with \r\n.
  2. Try to follow coding rules you see around the file (8 space tab, curly braces following functions and control structures,...).

Once you are ready, you can use the following to generate a patch according to the source type you are using.

  • Patches from subversion(RECOMMENDED) you can use the following steps to produce a patch: 
      1. Download an updated SVN copy. For people using subversion you can use:
  >> svn co https://dolphin.aspl.es/svn/publico/af-arch/trunk/libvortex-1.1/

  2. Now do desired modifications

  3. Now generate a patch going to the root directory:
  >> svn diff > modifications.patch
  • Patches from stable releases: you can use the following steps to produce a patch: 
      1. Copy the original file to .orig.
  >> cp file.[hc] file.[hc].orig

  2. Do modifications into the original file at its original location (file.[hc])

  3. Now generate a patch using:
  >> diff -u file.[hc] file.[hc].orig > modifications.patch

Once you have a patch, you can either fill a bug report (RECOMMENDED, see above) or send a message to the list with the patch.
