Praneesha Nayomi Chandrasiri commented on STRATOS-679:
------------------------------------------------------
The replies provided by Udara on the above questions of Chris on the mail are
as follows:
1) Patches will need to be applied by both committers and non-committers?
Contributers who are not yet commiters can send patches which are applied by
commiters. A non commiter can not apply a patch since he can not commit.
2) Are there different sorts of patches?
Can send a source patch (git diff or git format-patch) or a pull request
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
Stratos team might not provide binary patches. But someone can apply the source
patch, re build the patched code and get the binaries (Jars). The he can apply
the jars to the Stratos as a binary patch.
Create a folder with a patch number like patch10
Put the patched jars inside the patch10
copy the folder to the $STRATOS/repository/components/patches
Start Stratos again.
If any change is done to components/restendpoint/ then stratos.war should be
patched
rm repository/deployment/web-apps/stratos
rm repository/deployment/web-apps/stratos.war
cp stratos.war repository/deployment/web-apps
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?
Issues will be fixed in the current working branches. I am afraid released
versions will be fixed. However anyone can backport a change to a released
version when it is fixed in master or current working branch.
