5. if for any reasons, someone needed to submit a new patch for
some issue,
don't delete the old one, but named the new ones with version number.
Yeah, one of the annoying things is that JIRA doesn't tell you which
patch(es) are current or not, so it's a bit difficult to know if it's
just the last one or a combination of the above. I guess there's no
way of configuring JIRA to show up 'obsoleted' patches on a bug, is
there, thus allowing them to be kept but displayed differently
somehow?
You can see the time of submission, so you can at least order them
that way.
I think that being sure to give them a unique name, like
foo_patch_20070201.txt
or such, and then provide a comment in the JIRA specifically naming
that patch...
