1.1       misho       1: See README.hackers for notes on coding styles.
                      2: 
                      3: The master copy of this information can be found at:
                      4: 
                      5:  http://support.ntp.org/Dev/MaintainerIssues#How_to_work_on_a_bug_using_BitKe
                      6: 
                      7: If you are going to patch both ntp-stable and ntp-dev
                      8: please do it this way:
                      9: 
                     10:  > cd ntp-stable
                     11:  > (make and test your changes to ntp-stable first)
                     12:  > (commit your changes to ntp-stable)
                     13:  > cd ../ntp-dev
                     14:  > bk pull ../ntp-stable       (get your changes from ntp-stable)
                     15:  > (resolve any problems and test your changes)
                     16:  > (commit your changes to ntp-dev)
                     17: 
                     18: With the current release of bitkeeper it is *much* easier to move changes
                     19: from ntp-stable to ntp-dev than it is to move changes from ntp-dev to
                     20: ntp-stable.
                     21: 
                     22: If you make your changes in the above order and then submit them,
                     23: it will be trivial to apply your patches.
                     24: 
                     25: Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to apply your patches.
                     26: 
                     27: You are pretty much done now if your repos are on pogo.udel.edu.
                     28: 
                     29: If these patches are for a bugzilla issue, mark the issue as Resolved/READY
                     30: with a comment of "Please pick up the patches in pogo:/wherever"
                     31: 
                     32: ---
                     33: 
                     34: Please read (and follow) the previous section if you want to submit
                     35: patches for both ntp-stable and ntp-dev.
                     36: 
                     37: If you cannot easily get your patches to pogo, you may submit patches
                     38: via the 'bk send' command:
                     39: 
                     40:  > cd REPO
                     41:  > bk citool   (or bk ci ... ;  bk commit ... )
                     42:  > bk pull     # make sure your repo is up-to-date
                     43:  > bk send -d -ubk://www.ntp.org/home/bk/REPO - > file-containing-the-patch
                     44:  > bk receive -vv -a < file-containing-the-patch
                     45:                # Sanity check.
                     46: 
                     47:  # Open a bugzilla item at <http://bugzilla.ntp.org>
                     48: 
                     49:  # After the bug is opened, visit the bug and attach file-containing-the-patch
