Once you have done some work that you would like to submit, you need
to send a patch. There are two ways to submit a patch. First, if
you're using CVS and only made changes to existing CVS files you
you're using SVN and only made changes to existing SVN files you
can generate the patch using:
cvs -q diff -u > /tmp/mypatch
svn diff > /tmp/mypatch
and send /tmp/mypatch into the developers. Note that this ONLY WORKS
if you have NOT added any new files to the source tree. If you've
added new files then you should use a script called "make-gnucash-patch"
to help you create the patch for submission.
and send /tmp/mypatch to gnucash-devel@gnucash.org with `[PATCH]'
prefixed to the Subject: of the email. Note that this
ONLY WORKS if you have NOT added any new files to the source tree.
If your patch adds new files, use the `-N' flag to diff between a
clean directory and your development directory. E.g.
$ diff -urN {gnucash-pristine} {gnucash-mydevel} > /tmp/mypatch
