Hi All,
I just need to mention and get a confirmation on the process we are following
for contribution to the OpenvSwitch i.e in line with contributing document of
the Dev forum.This is mainly how we are using GIT for the same.
1.
Fork the repository from the main OVS official
repository(https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs).
2.
Create a development branch in our forked repository.
3.
Make changes and commit on the development branch of our forked repository.
4.
Push the development branch to our forked repository.
5.
Format-patch or diff from the master branch of our forked repository with
development branch of our forked repository.
6.
Create the Patch.
Query 1: Please let me know if any further actions should be taken while
creating a patch or anything that needs to be taken into consideration for
effective patch submission(s).
I have some queries related to contribution to the OVS via GIT :
Query 2 : Do we need to synchronize the forked master branch with the official
OVS repository , if yes how often ?
Query 3 : When do we merge the forked master branch with the forked development
branch OR is it like the development branch is directly taken on finalizing the
code via a pull request.
Query 4 : If a patch that is already in review and the same is the basis of
another patch that needs to be submitted later, do we have to wait for review
completion of the first patch or we can submit another patch mentioning the
details about previous patch i.e already under review.
Thank You
Regards
Rishi
