I was wondering if someone could give me a few hints. I noticed that all patches have [PATCH] in the subject. Should this always be done? Also, any other general rules to follow that could be passed on would be nice.

Since btrfs is Linux kernel code, the same rules apply for btrfs kernel code as they do for Linux kernel code. Take a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches in a checkout of the kernel source. It is online here: http://users.sosdg.org/~qiyong/lxr/source/Documentation/SubmittingPatches You can format your patch submission emails correctly with git-send-email(1).> Morey-- Jeff Schroeder Don''t drink and derive, alcohol and analysis don''t mix. http://www.digitalprognosis.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

But, one of my goals it to get new people involved and so I try fixup imperfect patches as well. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
