First bug

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125621

This is the first bug I'm working on, attached is a diff file for the bug.
Is this the correct way to submit changes?


 I sent a mail to QA to give me bugzilla permissions to assign the bug to
myself so I can submit the patch. What do I do next?

Sure, that must be changed in our online documentation.

I believe that the #i123456# and "\nPatch by: Xxxx Yyyy 
<zz...@example.org>" conventions will be enough for the time being. I've 
sometimes used "Reported by" instead of the "official" (i.e., listed on 
that page) "Found by", but this is minor.

Regards,
   Andrea.

What we have documented is on:
http://openoffice.apache.org/svn-basics.html#committing_changes_by_others

I had not been including the email addresses -- oops!. But, we should come
up with a standard and use it. We should probably change the syntax for
issue referencing.

Here's a list of "special fields" supported if we want to go into more fine
tuning.

Thanks Zimuzo for your first patch! Two things, one for Zimuzo and one 
generic:

1) Zimuzo, if you are still looking for a new issue just let us know: 
you can probably find plenty of suggestions for similar fixes in the 
l10n list archives 
http://markmail.org/search/list:org.apache.incubator.ooo-l10n but we can 
suggest specific ones if you prefer.

2) All: Do we have a "canonical" way to attribute commits? Ohloh, or 
whatever it's called now, will still be hopelessly broken (as a 
consequence of how attribution in SVN and GIT works) and misrepresent 
attribution, so 5-6 contributors are actually hidden behind the username 
"pescetti" because I committed their patches. In this case Kay 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1629549 used 
"i125621 Patch by: zimuzo ezeosue". It is surely clear to a human 
reader. I wonder if we can make it easier to parse. For example, the 
issue reference should be #i125621# (with '#' signs) for our Bugzilla 
bot to see it and annotate the corresponding issue automatically. But do 
we have (or want) a standard for attribution? I tend, in general, to 
write something like
   ---
#i999999# Fix problem with XYZ
Patch-By: Xxxxxx Yyyyy <ma...@example.com>
   ---
but I can change it to any other convention if we decide to adopt one.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Your patch has now been committed to trunk and noted in the issue. Good
job! Please feel free to continue your work with us either in the  Help
area or elsewhere.

As always, it is recommended that you start form a clean build shell for
new builds.

Thanks again.

Please dont include the patch in the mailing list, the patch should be
submitted in the bug report as an attachment type PATCH.
