See README.hackers for notes on coding styles. If you are going to patch both ntp-stable and ntp-dev please do it this way: > cd ntp-stable > (make and test your changes to ntp-stable first) > (commit your changes to ntp-stable) > cd ../ntp-dev > bk pull ../ntp-stable (get your changes from ntp-stable) > (resolve any problems and test your changes) > (commit your changes to ntp-dev) With the current release of bitkeeper it is *much* easier to move changes from ntp-stable to ntp-dev than it is to move changes from ntp-dev to ntp-stable. If you make your changes in the above order and then submit them, it will be trivial to apply your patches. Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to apply your patches. --- Please read (and follow) the previous section if you want to submit patches for both ntp-stable and ntp-dev. To submit patches please use the 'bk send' command: > cd REPO > bk citool (or bk ci ... ; bk commit ... ) > bk pull # make sure your repo is up-to-date > bk send -d -ubk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/REPO - > file-containing-the-patch > bk receive -vv -a < file-containing-the-patch # Sanity check. # Open a bugzilla item at # After the bug is opened, visit the bug and attach file-containing-the-patch
