|
|
I noticed that some modules are outdated (there are newer versions of the software available), so I updated them myself in my local moonbase.
What is the best way to get the updated version of the module into moonbase?
Should I mention myself as maintainer in the module? |

create a zlocal copy of the module first:
now cd into the module directory and edit the parts you need
Code: | lvu cd $MODULE
vi DETAILS |
test your code (thoroughly!) and submit the results to the mailinglist
you can see the diff output by doing

I wanted to know if this method is still valid, I submitted two updates last week (sylpheed2 and lxpanel) but they find in the mailing list, this procedure for all or only for dev? |

The module submission system has changed since this thread was first started.
In the past the lvu submit module command sent an svn diff patch to the
mailing list, but now a git-friendly patch is added to a separate submission queue.
You can see the submission queue at: http://foo-projects.org/~sofar/queue.php
Module submissions by the users are very much appreciated, so keep them
coming, but you have to remember that:
a) the Lunar development team is quite small[*]
b) they are all working in their spare time, and have other commitments,
c) some of the submissions require specific hardware/software environments
to be able to install and test them properly
Someone will get to your submission sooner or later, but until then you can continue
to enjoy your own zlocal versions of the modules.
Cheers
