No, it's all in packages svn (ABS).

Any help getting started would gladly be appreciated! :)

send git format patches on arch-projects ml. as a tip, append the project name in front of the subject lile [initscripts].

cat =git-archprojects #!/bin/bash

if (( $# < 2 )); then echo "usage: ${0##*/}: <project> <options to git send-email>" exit 1 fi exec git format-patch --to arch-projects@archlinux.org --subject-prefix="$1] [PATCH" "${@:2}" ###### This creates the patch files in the current directory so you can review them. Then run `git send-email *.patch`. (I think they end with .patch, but I'm not sure right now and I don't wanna test)

You can also ask for help in "irc.freenode.net/#archlinux-projects". -- Florian Pritz

git send-email accepts all options of git format-patch (this is not immediately clear from the manpage) - you don't need to format-patch as a separate step. I don't use a script, but instead type: git send-email --subject-prefix="initscripts] [PATCH" --to arch-projects@archlinux.org master..working Of course, you need to subscribe to arch-projects. If you post a patch series (with more than 3 patches), it is also very convenient if you push your tree to github (or anywhere where you can host git) and provide a URL (in addition to posting the patches). For more nice features, see the manpages of git-format-patch and git-send-email.

Hi Göran,

2012/1/4 Göran Gustafsson :

...

The packages i've edited is initscripts, mkinitcpio and filesystem. When it comes to initscripts and mkinitcpio i've just cloned the git repositories but i'm not sure how i should send the commits upstream. git push doesn't work since i don't have the right permissions. I've only used github to send pull request before so i'm not that confident in git yet. Can i do the same thing with just the git command?

I suggest using Florian's script for initscripts+mkinitcpio.

...

Also, does the filesystem package have a git repository i can use too?

For the filesystem package you could either open a bug/feature request (and assign it to me), or send an email/diff to arch-projects.

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks! I'm gonna give the script a try. The filesystem thing is such a little thing that i could just as well tell you here. Why don't we remove hostname from /etc/issue? agetty already tells us the hostname which makes it pointless.
