Hello Germán, Thanks for the info. In order to be able to submit a patch, I followed the instructions on the wiki, [1] . I installed Flatpak (version 0.10.1) on Ubuntu 17.10, but I got stuck when trying to download Builder (gnome-software message: Don't know how to handle 'file:///tmp/mozilla_hannie0/org.gnome.Builder-2.flatpakref'). I will try to install jhbuild instead, according to 'Set up your testing environment' [3] and see if that will allow me to submit patches.
Hi Hannie, I am very sorry that my pointers turned out to be more complex than I anticipated. I believe I was not clear enough on what I meant. Let us step back a bit and be sure we are on the same page (no pun intended with respect to the subject of this thread). My understanding is that you are already using git, and you have a branch with your changes in the documentation. Therefore, you want to know how to submit your changes in bugzilla. Considering that, I meant to say that you should consider only the link to submit a patch, not the previous steps about building a project and/or installing Builder or jhbuild.
I realize that this mailing list is not a helpdesk, so if I am asking too much help here, I apologize and I will stop asking questions.
You found some roadblocks on your way, but please do not get discouraged because of them. It may be an opportunity to improve our documentation for newcomers ;-) In my personal opinion, the only bad question is the question that is never asked. If you feel more comfortable, there is a mailing list especially dedicated to newcomers: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/newcomers-list Also you can ask also on IRC #newcomers or #docs. Feel free to ping me whenever you see me there (gpoo). -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
