Submit patches to Openembedded (core)
Contributions to the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded are very welcome. You can read the official [Yocto contributor-guide]
Set up git
In this case I have a subscribed the openembedded-devel mailing list with a gmail.com account and I sign my patch with another account. Properly configure git (using tekkub@gmail.com as an example user)
On Debian / Ubuntu (Note: Fedora uses `yum` OpenSuse uses zypper or yast)
sudo aptitude install git-core git-email
These are important to the commit meta-data
git config --global user.name "Myself Me" git config --global user.email "myname@mydomain.com"
Any Google Apps account
git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.gmail.com git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587 git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls git config --global sendemail.smtpuser tekkupl@gmail.com
Committing your patch
Commit with a concise and descriptive message - one that explains your changes in a way others get a short overview without looking at the code.
Move to oe-core directory or whereever you keep your clone of the repo
cd oe-core
Add the modified file
git add path/recipename
Add a comment including my signature "Signed-off-by: Your Name <name@domain.com>"
git commit -s recipename: brief description * Longer description * if * required
In case you are sending patches for meta-openembedded or any layer other than openembedded-core, please add the appropriate prefix so that it is clear which layer the patch is intended to be applied to:
git format-patch --subject-prefix="meta-oe][PATCH" ...
Please substitute "PATCH" with "PATCH v2" if you are submitting a revised version after addressing feedback (or v3, v4 etc.)
For multiple commits you can substitute -1 above with -N (where N is the number of commits)
Sending using git-send-email
To send just the top commit on your current branch (substitute mailing list address as appropriate):
git send-email --to=openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org patchfilename
Community review
Your patch will be sent to the mailing list and should be immediately visible on http://patches.openembedded.org/ .
