chris snow commented on STRATOS-679:
------------------------------------

Thanks Praneesha!  A few questions:

1) Patches will need to be applied by both committers and non-committers?
2) Are there different sorts of patches?
     a) git diff patches containing source code changes (created as described 
in step 3 here [1])
     b) structured archive files containing meta data and code changes (created 
as described here [2])
3) Are there different reasons for a patch based on above?
    a) applying a third parties code changes to your own development tree
    b) applying pre-built packages containing binary files (e.g. jar files) to 
a stratos instance without having to touch source code
4) Will the Stratos team be providing patches for released versions of Stratos 
(e.g. security fixes)?
5) If the Stratos team will be providing patches, where can those patches be 
found?

Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a little confused around this area.
