Okay cool, ya I didn't know who to tell. I sent an email to dieter.

I first have to learn git. It's on my todo list but don't hold your breath - the list is longer than my arm.

> Okay cool, ya I didn't know who to tell. I sent an email to dieter.
Email w/o a git patch probably won' do much good.

Hum, well I don't know how to write a git patch. I guess it would be a good thing to learn though, but I have to go to bed now.

Hum..., after further looking at the this forums section I guess I posted in a totally wrong place Live and learn.

No no no, it's fine, we'll wait here for your contribution. If you decide not to share with the community, we simply release the vicious dogs :-D

Okay, sure I'm going to wake up and watch the x-files but then I'll learn how to write the git patch and get it done.

demian · 2010-05-26 22:37:41

x-files! love em

falconindy · 2010-05-26 22:41:59

1) git clone git://address.of/repo.git
2) Start up your favorite editor and make your changes.
3) git diff > zomg-its-a.patch
4) email.

You will certainly not need git for a one-liner. Git is defenitly worth learning, but in this case, it is like ordering a super-tanker from Bahrain, just because your lawn-mower has run out of fuel. A message to the maintainer should be enough.

hunterthomson · 2010-05-28 01:38:18

Hay, thanks falconindy. I got lost looking for a way to do it. Sure enough it was super simple

Ya tlaloc, it dose seem a little much, but hay, now I'll be far more likely to write patches for other stuff.
