- - - -Bugs, Patches and Requested Features can be submitted via the Sourceforge -tracker system. Please read through the sections below. - -

Bug reporting

- -

-Click on Submit Bug to submit a bug against one of the subprojects. -

-It is important that you assign the bug to the correct subproject. This -is done by selecting the appropriate Category from the category tab. Before -submitting a bug report, you might check if the bug you encountered hasn't been -reported already by looking at the open bug reports page. -

-Please, before reporting a bug, try out the latest version of the software. - -

Patches

- -

-This tracker is a collection of up to date patches (patches that apply -cleanly against the latest version of Pd. The latest version can either be -found as a downloadable file on Miller Puckettes site or in the HEAD branch of the CVS. -

-
-

-The main purpose of the patches tracker is to make it easier to incorporate -new features and bug fixes into the Pd core. Including new stuff may take some -time, and the inclusion of some features might not get accepted. The final -decision if your patch gets accepted is in the hands of Miller. If you -think your patch has been forgotten, please communicate it on the pd -developers list or to Miller directly. -

-
-

-If your patch is a bug fix, please choose the group "bugfix" in order -to mark it clearly. -

-
-

-All patches need to have a detailed description. This can later be used -to decide if the patch can go into the main Pd distribution or not, and -should also minimize the work that has to be done in order to adapt new -ideas. Click to Submit a patch. -

-
-

-If you submit a patch, take care that you only send the parts that have to -be changed. Formatting changes and changes in whitespace will only make the -patch less readable. Send the patch in unified diff format.
-
-e.g. from a CVS directory: -
-
-cvs diff -uBw > cool_feature.patch -
-The patches collection might also be useful for users, as it makes it possible -to get the freshest bugfixes and new features that didn't make it into the -main distribution yet. -Check out the patches. - -
