\item new features that can be added by modifying existing OpenWrt files

In order to include a patch, you need to produce it, this can be done by using the
|
||||
\textbf{svn diff} command which generates the differences between your local copy
|

(modified) and the version on the OpenWrt repository (unmodified yet). Then attach
|

the patch with a description, using the "Attach" button.
|
||||
|
||||
Once the ticket is open, a developer will take care of it, if so, the ticket is marked
|

as "accepted" with the developer name. You can add comments at any time to the ticket,

even when it is closed.

\subsubsection{Submitting patches}
|

|
||||
In order to include a patch to a ticket, you need to output it, this can be done by using the \textbf{svn diff} command which generates the differences between your local copy (modified) and the version on the OpenWrt repository (unmodified yet). Then attach the patch with a description, using the "Attach" button.

Your patch must respect the following conventions :
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item it has to work, with no side effect on other platforms, distributions, packages ...
|
||||
\item it must have a reason to be included in OpenWrt : bug fix, enhancement, feature adding/removing
|
||||
\item the patch name should be named like that : <index number>-this\_fixes\_bug\_foo\_and\_bar.patch
|
||||
\item if several, they have to be indexed with an integer number : 100-patch1, 200-patch2 ...
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|

|

Your patch will be read and most likely be used as-is by the developpers if it is clean and working. If not, the patch will be accepted anyway and modified to be OpenWrt-rules compliant
