However, I'm not sure how to go about committing, submitting, and merging this patch with the main OE tree. What I've done so far: * Gotten a checkout of the org.openembedded.dev branch; * Made my modifications; * Created a key; * Committed my changes to my working copy. Now I can't even manage to retrieve the diff of my changes (the 'obvious' step of running "mtn diff -r " didn't do anything useful) to submit them to the bugzilla. Of course, submitting a context-free patch when you've got a full distributed RCS at your bidding seems a bit archaic anyway. So, my questions: * How do I get my diff back? * How do I submit my changes to the OE project for merging? * Will I have problems when the change gets committed to the trunk? * (The biggie) is there a guide on the wiki or somewhere describing the preferred workflow for making changes and working effectively with the rest of the OE developer community? (Google wasn't at all illuminating) Thanks, - Matt
