Most of my patches are actually in the Gentoo source tree. When you |
66 |
emerge a package and you see a line that it's patching the source code |
67 |
right after unpacking the source... that's possibly one of the gcc-3.1 |
68 |
patches. As far as where I send the patches to... I go to the |
69 |
maintainer's website and e-mail it to him/her and also explain all my |
70 |
changes. My patches aren't to specific Qt/GTK code because 99% of that |
71 |
code is fine. It's all C++ syntaxing and what not really. And if you |
72 |
wanna see lots of kernel hacks at patches by us Gentoo people... try |
73 |
mjc-sources. Make sure to pick your architecture with (3.1) at the end |
74 |
if you're using gcc-3.1. |
