Hi all, for sending a patch do I need to have on my PC two u-bbot tree, one original obtaned by git command, and another to make the modifications?
Or can I produce the patches using the original tree resident on git server?
Thanks
Hi Fabio,
you get an introduction how to send patches to ML here:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches
And you get a lot of docs on git on kernel.org. In your case, you do not need to work directly with patch, git makes the job for you. all you need is:
- make your changes in your tree (if you want to make things simple) - git commit (be sure to add your signed-off and to set a useful comment) - git format patch HEAD~1 (or better check the man page for it..)
That's all. I suggest you to use git send-email to send your patch to the ML to avoid some corruption by your e-mail client.
Best regards, Stefano Babic
