Thanks!
However, your patch cannot be applied because it has several issues :
* It is word-wrapped, probably because of your e-mail client
(Thunderbird)
* It does not have the proper Git format (it is not an unified diff,
it lacks a description, etc.)
Could you prepare a Git patch for this ?
In just a nutshell, here is how you can generate your first Git
patches :
1. Install git
Under Debian/Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install git
2. Clone the Buildroot git repository
git clone git://git.busybox.net/buildroot
3. Configure git by writing the following ~/.gitconfig file
===START OF FILE================================
[user]
name = Massimiliano Marretta
email = max at marretta.com
[sendemail]
smtpserver = your-smtp-server.com
===END OF FILE================================
4. Create your local branch for your work
cd buildroot
git branch gstreamer-xorg-and-mp3
5. Switch to your branch
git checkout gstreamer-xorg-and-mp3
6. Make a change
vi/emacs yourfile
7. Commit it
git commit -a -s
and enter a meaningful commit log
8. Go back at step 6 and 7 for all other changes. Each logical change
should be split in a separated commit.
9. Send your changes to the mailing list
git send-email --to buildroot at uclibc.org master
Of course, this a just a quick recipe on how to use Git. You'll find
more details in the dozens of documentation and tutorials available on
the Web.
Regards,
Thomas
