The top page while searching for "mesa submitting patches" gives [1].<br>
<br>
Please skim through it but in a gist:<br>
- fire git format-patch(ed) patches to the list. Since I'm lazy I<br>
directly use git send-email $old_sha..$new_sha<br>
- patches should have commit messages<br>
- try to attribute the author when that's not you - see git commit<br>
--author="foo"<br>
<br>
Keep in mind that if a developer has to spend time X applying OOT<br>
patches, that's X less time for addressing other issues.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Emil<br>
