Where to send patches for the Java Client

May 20, 2010, 12:21:13 am

Although new to Java I've decided to scratch my itch and modified my Java Client (MainWindow.java) to behave when zooming. It now stays at the same position instead of jumping to position 0 when you change the zoom level. I'd like my change to get somehow into the 'main' source tree, but don't know where it can be found.

Among sump.org, sourceforge.net/projects/jlac and the gadgetfactory.com SVN I'm confused to where the 'main' repository is and where I could send patches.

Markus,

This will be a very welcome patch! It's been driving me crazy while I have been debugging the new SPI mode changes.

Will you submit it to the patch tracker at Gadget Factory? Next time I talk to Michael Poppitz I'll ask him how he want to coordinate getting patches into sourceforge. There will probably be patches that will only apply to the OLS that we won't in the sourceforge repository. It might be helpful if you put in the notes for this patch that it is useful for OLS and sourceforge repositories.

The URL to submit the patch is:
http://gadgetforge.gadgetfactory.net/gf ... ker_id=178

Thanks,
Jack.

Jack,

I've put the patch up there.

Another annoyance I'm thinking about is to make the settings in the various dialogs persistent. We'll see.

Maybe a thread should be made of peoples wish list for changes to sump then the most popular items can be worked on.

There is already a tracker with a category 'feature requests' on the gadgetfactory.net website. There are three feature requests pending too.
