Patching Lazarus sources
« on: July 21, 2011, 06:45:52 pm »
If I would make a patch correcting a bug, opening a bug report and then putting my patch in it, what sources should I patch? The "stable" 0.9.30 sources or the latest snapshot?  :(

thanks

Usually, you should develop on the trunk (latest) version.
To consider developing on 0.9.30, the following conditions should be true:
  • the bug is also present in 0.9.30
  • you think it is important enough to be backported
  • the affected code has changed enough so that svn merge will give conflicts
  • release manager (Juha or Vincent) does not mind applying your patch so late in the release cycle

Always send patches against the very latest subversion or snapshot. thanks
