i think that Howardpc has more experience that me with lazarus and svn. il woud be a better "comitter".
That is an excuse. Commiting changes is as easy as creating a patch.
Anyway, what does Howardpc say? Do you want to be a maintainer?
For the patches, i have answered to the bug 24472 mantis with a patch. Can you tell me if the patch is in a good format ( i use tortoise svn)?
Yes it is OK.
Now that you asked it, the best patch would be made from the source root directory so that file paths are included, too.
Then I can apply it from the root dir without worrying about paths.
$ patch -p0 < ~/patch/AdvLed.pas.patch
With your patch I must first move to the right source directory and then apply.
$ cd components/IndustrialStuff/source/
$ patch -p0 < ~/patch/AdvLed.pas.patch
No big deal, but with some patches I don't know where the file is. I must first search it to get its path.
A patch made from the root directory is also more self-documenting. I see the paths in Kompare (diff viewer) and can use them for opening files in editor for example.
