[desktop-discuss] Re: JDS SVN is Live

If someone would like a reason to do a commit...
55 of our patches do not apply perfectly, 'patch' ignores a few of the context lines when applying the patch. For the most part this doesn't break the patch but we don't know.
Builds using the new version of the CBE (1.5) will break in such situations (this is intentional).

Attached is a list of the patches that need to be reworked for the current source tarballs.
An example fro the attached file:
  Log: SUNWfirefox.log:
    firefox-05-preload.diff:
      browser/app/mozilla.in: Hunk 1(fuzz 1).
This means that firefox-05-preload.diff patches browser/app/mozilla.in. So the portions of firefox-05-preload.diff that refer to browser/app/mozilla.in need to be regenerated.
Each engineer has a different method for doing this.
I expand the source tarball, backup the mozilla.in (cp to mozilla.in.orig).
While viewing firefox-05-preload.diff I update mozilla.in.
Then, 'diff -u mozilla.in.orig mozilla.in' and put this output into firefox-05-preload.diff.
Then email the updated patch jds-code-review at opensolaris dot org.
