Sending patches: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: We know these rules are hard, but it's hard to maintain such big and complex project, so you should accept our rules. We have no time for fixing buggy, broken or old patches! 1. Always make patch for the CVS version. We do not accept patches for old versions or releases. 2. Make unified diffs ('diff -Naur' or 'cvs diff -u') 3. Test functionality of your patch. We'll *refuse* it if it breaks something, even if it extends other features! 4. Read your patch. We'll *refuse* it if it changes indent of the code or it does tab/space or other cosmetical changes! 5. Comment parts what really needs it (has tricky side-effects etc). Commenting trivial code not requires. Comments must be english! 6. Do not ask for CVS write access at first time. If you contributed 1 or more nice, acceptable patches and they need maintaining or you want to be mplayer developer, you'll get CVS write access. 7. Subscribe to the mplayer-dev-eng list (don't worry, it's low traffic) and send your patch there as base64-encoded attachment (use gzip or bzip2 *only* if it's really big). Also describe in a few sentences what (and why) are the changes. Thank you! A'rpi
