Hi Khamis.
It is traditional to send bug fixes as context- or uni-diffs. Sending
replacement files is bad because it takes up a lot more bandwidth
(typically). Diffs are also superior because they let the maintainers
immediately see what has changed. Less work for maintainers means
that patches go in more quickly, and everybody is happier.
If you have SN checked out of cvs you can use "cvs diff -u" or "cvs
diff -c" to create a diff.
Otherwise you have to use "diff -u" or "diff -c" by hand (and remember
to keep the original around).
It's also good to write a ChangeLog entry and send it with the patch.
This also makes it easier for developers to check in patches (I don't
know about SN but on other projects I work on a ChangeLog entry is a
prerequisite to any commit).
I don't work on SN. I just happened to see two humongous email
messages in my inbox this morning and thought I would send email about
it.
Tom
