Question about resending a patchset

Question about resending a patchset

[Tahia Khan]

I have a question about resending a patch within a patchset. The
Outreachyfirstpatch page says that if a patch within a patchset 
needs to be revised, the entire patchset should be versioned and 
resent. In my case I have a patchset which requires one patch to 
be revised, but the rest of the patches have already been ack'd. 
Should I still version and resend the entire patchset in this case? 
Would this mean that the ack'd patches need to be reacknowleged?

Thanks,
Tahia

Yes.

No, add the acks to the patches that you do not change, if you got them,
when you resend them so I know they are there.

hope this helps,
