Processing Patches

[Jason van Zyl <ja...@maven.org>]

Hi,

I've tried to streamline the processing of patches for MNG by  
adjusting the default issue creation screen:

http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa

And specifically the checkbox at the bottom which allow someone to  
specify whether they are submitting a patch or not:

So hopefully folks can check this off which will make it easier for  
us to process the patches. I created a simple filter that's shared  
called "Maven Patches":

http://people.apache.org/~jvanzyl/PatchesFilter.png

If you use this filter inside Eclipse using Mylar then actually  
reviewing the patches is  a lot easier as it's easy  to apply them  
and check the differences. I might write something up on that once I  
get it down myself. I've just started trying to use Mylar to process  
the patches.

To get the initial list I used the existing filter we had searching  
for "patch" and "diff" and flipped the bit on the patch submitted. I  
went through them and tried to remove the false positives so what's  
left is what should be issues with patches. If you've got any more  
could you please bulk change them and flip the patch submitted bit.

I will update the patch submission doco with these screen shots but  
hopefully change the issue creation form with the checkbox will help  
us identify them. I'm going to try and review the rest of the patches  
this week while trying to flesh out the 2.1 arch goal and taxonomy.  
It just all needs to be cleaned up before we can proceed in any  
meaningful way.

Thanks,

Jason
