What is the process for submitting patches?

Asked by Alvin

I wrote a patch for the gmail applet to open the mail item being clicked on directly in the inbox.

Curious what the process is for submitting it?

please take a look at
http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Help%20us%20with%20BZR&lang=en

it explains how to make your own branch in Launchpad to share your modifications with everybody.
we can then merge them easily into the trunk.

for a patch (bug-fix or small feature), you can provide a diff file as you did on our forum, it's also a convenient way :-)

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Alvin for more information if necessary.
