Re: [gef-dev] committing patches

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

We will go though the outstanding bugs
with patches in January. A note on this however.

A patch on a feature needs to go through
the Eclipse legal process for contributions. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71684
is an example of a patch going through this process right now. We also
need to make sure that features are desired by the community. Bug 71684
is an example where there are a number of CC on the Bugzilla clearly demonstrating
the need for the feature.

With regards to patches on a bug report,
it would be helpful if there was a code snippit or JUnit test demonstrating
the failing code.

Lastly with regards to your question
regarding helping getting patches in, this is the responsibility of the
GEF committers. The process to become a committer is http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/
and if your employer is not a foundation member you can look at http://www.eclipse.org/membership/become_a_member/committer.php

Cheers...
Anthony

Subject	[gef-dev] committing patches

Hi all,

I was just going through some GEF/Draw2D bug reports and I noticed there
has only been 26 resolved bug reports since July 1st, and of this, only
5 were actual fixes (most were duplicates or invalid).  Some of the
outstanding bugs even have patches attached.  I understand that 
priorities change and people get moved around to different projects, so
please don't think that I am pointing fingers.  As a community member,
I 
was wondering if there was anything that can be done to help get patches
in? I am personally interested in Draw2D, but I imagine there are other
members who are interested in GEF too.

cheers,
Ian
