Where to send
=============
-Send comments, bug reports, patches, etc., to albert@users.sf.net
+Send comments, bug reports, patches, etc., to procps@freelists.org
What to send
I also like "ps --info" output, even if there isn't a ps problem.
+Patches
+=======
+
+Get latest version of the source from upstream git.
+
+git clone git://gitorious.org/procps/procps.git
+
+and use 'git format-patch' format. It is fine to attach patches as
+compressed tar balls. When you are about to send very large number
+of patches consider setting up your personal clone, and send a pull
+request.
+
+git request-pull commit-id \
+ git://gitorious.org/~yourlogin/procps/your-clone.git

Kernel-Dependent Patches
========================
If you send me patches which are specific to *running* with a particular
be best to first try to generalize the parsing, since the code is then
more resilient against future change.
-Also unified diffs (diff -u) are my preference, context diffs (diff -c )
-are kind of usable, and standard diffs (diff) are more useless than a
-generic text description of what you did. Just use
- diff -Naurd oldfile newfile
-or
- diff -Naurd old-procps-ng-dir new-procps-ng-dir
-to create your diffs and you will make me happy. Also make sure to
-include a description of what the diff is for or I'm likely to ignore
-it because of general lack of time...
-
-It might be nice to get rid of miscellaneous compiler warnings, but
-don't bend over backwards to do it.
