Create a patch

In order to create a patch with git:

  • in your branch: git diff master
  • from master: git diff branchname

Submit it to review board

If you are new to Calligra development you should almost submit almost always your patch to Calligra on KDE's review board. But some code need to be reviewed even if it is created by long time core developers. If you are unsure check out the rules of the review board.

  • Log in to the review board. If it's the first time you use it, you have to create an account as well.
  • Click on "New Review Request"
  • ??? In "Base Diff Path", put "trunk/" with the source directory where you generated the patch (ie where you executed "svn diff") appended
  • In Diff select the patch you want to upload
  • After clicking on "Create a review request" you will have to add "calligra" in the list of group and a description
  • Don't forget to press "publish" at the top of the page

For previous requests, see also the old KOffice SVN reviewboard page.
