Dear all, here is a quick summary of things to keep in mind when submitting a patch to Org-mode:
- prefer `git format-patch': it makes it easy to apply patches without having to manually amend the patch (with the author's name, etc.) - always add an emacs ChangeLog in the commit message: you can create the ChangeLog with `C-x 4 a' (M-x add-change-log-entry-other-window). When merging Org into Emacs, we collect these logs and put them into emacs/lisp/org/ChangeLog. - If your copyright is not assigned to the FSF, take extra care of adding a TINYCHANGE cookie at the end of your ChangeLog entry so that we can easily track those changes. - Take care of a few formatting issues in the ChangeLog itself: - Start all sentences with an uppercase letter. - Use a full-stop and double-space at the end of each sentence. - Quote variables and functions names like this: `org-agenda'. Here is an example: ,---- | * org-publish.el (org-publish-index-generate-theindex): Rename | from `org-publish-index-generate-theindex.inc'. Use the file | theindex.org directly instead of including theindex.inc. | (org-publish-projects): Don't delete .orgx files. | (org-publish-aux-preprocess): Use .file.orgx. `---- Thanks all for your efforts! Best, -- Bastien
