Hi, I have just discovered that it's not possible for a contributor to set "Patch available" on a JIRA unless they reported it. (I'm not sure about committers as I'm not one...) I imagine this is to stop people coming in and editing other details on the JIRA, so I can see that it makes sense. My question is, what is the best thing to do if I attach a patch to a JIRA and I can't set "Patch available"? I can think of three alternatives at the moment:
1. Assume that the reporter will notice and set it themselves (or commit the fix if they're also a comitter) 2. E-mail the reporter privately 3. Post to the mailing list Or a fourth alternative would be a combination of the above where the person who contributed the patch waits a few days before doing either 2 or 3. Any thoughts on what would be best? Thanks, Sian -- Sian January IBM Java Technology Centre, UK
