Hi Vitali,

The first step to get out of the way is getting a copyright assignment in
place with the Free Software Foundation (FSF). To request the assignment
form, you need to first fill in the form at this link:
<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnulib/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future?revision=1&root=gnulib>
and email it to <assign@gnu.org>.

We should get notified when the process is complete, after which we can
look at getting the contribution incorporated. You can either create the
contribution in our bugzilla database (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org> or
mail it to <ecos-patches@ecos.sourceware.org>. For large bodies of new
code, probably the best thing to do is send the new files in a tarball, and
any changes as a patch (usually created by something like "cvs -q diff -u5
-p").

You may find this useful:

http://ecos.sourceware.org/patches-generating.html
and if submitting via bugzilla:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/patches-submitting.html
