Fixed a bug, I think

[Markus Kahl <ma...@googlemail.com>]

Hello!

I haven't participated in open source development before, but I wanted to
give it a try. So I took a look at the apache bug tracker and got me a nice
little bug.

Now I think I was able to fix it.
But what now? I changed the status of the bug to "FIXED RESOLVED" and
attached my patch before.
Is that all I have to do? Will the fix now be merged into the trunk
eventually or do I have to do more than that?
Should I write to the mailing list (like this) and propose my patch?

I'm talking about bug #41400 by the way:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41400


Regards,

Markus Kahl

Hi Markus,
   Don't mark the bug as FIXED RESOLVED or we'll never see it as we  
only look for OPEN bugs.  What you should do is attach your patch as  
you described and modify the description of the bug to be prefixed  
with [PATCH].  If you don't get any response to having done this,  
please feel free to periodically pester the Ant developers here on  
this list.  I hope this helps.

Thanks for your interest and welcome,
Matt
