+ The Apache Group encourages patches from outside developers. There are 2 main "types" + of patches: small bugfixes and general improvements. Bugfixes should be sent to the + Apache bug report page. + Improvements, modifications and additions should follow these instructions. +
+ In general, the first course of action is to be a member of the
+ new-httpd@apache.org
mailing list. This indicates to the Group that
+ you are closely following the latest Apache developments. Your patch file should be
+ generated using either 'diff -c
' or 'diff -u
' against the
+ latest CVS tree. To submit your patch, send Email to new-httpd@apache.org
+ with a Subject:
line that starts with [PATCH]
and
+ includes a general description of the patch. In the body of the message, the
+ patch should be clearly described and then included at the end of the message.
+ If the patch-file is long, you can note a URL to the file instead of the file
+ itself. Use of MIME enclosures/attachments should be avoided.
+
+ Be prepared to respond to any questions about your patches and possibly defend + your code. If your patch results in a lot of discussion, you may be asked to + submit an updated patch that incorporate all changes and suggestions. +
