Patches
The simple way to create patches is to download the source tar ball for the latest release. After you are done hacking take a diff (use "diff -rwu") and mail it to pardus@cpan.org.
If you want the full revision controlled source tree you will need the Bazaar version control system. To check out the current tree from launchpad run:
$ bzr branch lp:zim
This will give you a local copy to hack on. When working on a large feature please commit changes to your local branch regularly so we have a detailed log of what changed later on. When you are done just run:
$ bzr send -o some-description.patch
and mail the resulting file to pardus@cpan.org. This file contains the whole patch set and can easily be merged in the upstream repository.
Contact
