(Or, "How do I get Alexandre to apply my patch quickly so I
can build on it and it will not go stale?")
Make sure your patch applies to the current Git HEAD
revisions. If a bunch of patches are committed that may
affect whether your patch will apply cleanly then verify that
your patch does apply! git fetch; git rebase origin
is your friend!
Save yourself some embarrassment and run your patched code
against more than just your current test example. Experience
will tell you how much effort to apply here. If there are
any conformance tests for the code you're working on, run them
and make sure they still pass after your patch is applied. Running
tests can be done by running make test. You may
need to run make testclean to undo the results
of a previous test run. See the "testing" guide for
more details on Wine's conformance tests.
