Hi,
I'm a potential first time contributor, but I need some help.
I have a solution for a ticket which already exists.
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10712
I've read and followed the instructions at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Submitting_Bug_Fixes
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/TicketHowTo
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/UsingGit
I've registered an account at github.com, and I've cloned the MythTV
project.
This is the first time I've used Git, so I found a very helpful book to
provide some instructions.
http://git-scm.com/book
I've implemented the fix in my view. I've run 'git add' and 'git commit
-v', but
now the Myth development documentation has left me hanging. What exactly
is the next step?
The git-scm book talks about "pushing". The only reference I've found on
the Myth wiki pages says "git push -n should always verified before real
pushing".
So I tried that, and it just fails saying "Permission to
MythTV/mythtv.git denied".
Elsewhere I've found some vague instructions to "attach a patch to a
ticket",
but there is no explanation of the format of "a patch". Is this supposed
to be
a diff listing on each file? Is this supposed to identify a git branch
which is
publicly readable? How do I create that?
Please provide me some guidance on how to proceed.
Thanks,
- Steve E
