Re: [evolution-patches] Two Typo Patches and Formatting question

["Harish Krishnaswamy" <kharish gnome org>]

Your ChangeLog is almost close except that it also has to be a patch.
I have attempted to list down the steps below -

To generate a ChangeLog  :

a. you need to navigate to the nearest parent directory which has a
ChangeLog file, from the file to which you are submitting changes.
b.  Add a brief note about the patch on the top of the ChangeLog file.
Refer to prior entries for format/examples.
c. Generate a diff on svn, just as you would for a .c/.h file
d. Append it to the patch file that you are submitting.

Note that if you modify several files, your patch might have different
ChangeLogs (one for each module that has a ChangeLog file)

It might take a while (in fact, a long while ;-)) before the patch
submitted gets reviewed, approved and goes for a commit - so remember
to update the date entry (just prior to the commit) to reflect the
time it got into the repository instead of when the patch had been
written/submitted.

Hope this helps,
Harish
