First to present myself, I'm a new developper on Koha. I work for
inLibro, which has been a Koha proponent for a while now.
All our changes, enhancements and bug fixes have been local so far,
meaning we patched for each library as they needed.
We got a bundle of those to contribute to the community. Fixes and
enhancements. To get the hang of it, I started with three small
ones (after dutifully reading the wiki, blog and asking irc
questions), but I'm sure I screwed up a few things.
Questions:
- I work with patches. I used git-bz for one, and manual for the
others. Now how to I email to patch mailing list? I just copy the
content? I comment it? Do I add the [PATCH] in the header or some
tool could have done all that for me? (my server can't send email,
so I'm not sure if git-bz should have done it)
- My local branch names are bug_XXXX from the master. But I'm not
sure if that must be commited. Some wiki (contribute!) only talks
about sending a patch. Others
(http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commit_messages) talk about
it. Can you enlighten me?
Long text for two questions. Sorry. But I need that clarified
before I start piling up fixes :)
Very best regards,
Blou
