board to the MAKEALL script, too.
* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
document these in the README file.
* The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository use "cvs
update; cvs diff -puRN"; else, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your
version of diff does not support these options, then get the latest
version of GNU diff.
We accept patches as plain text, MIME attachments or as uuencoded
gzipped text.
* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
Notes:
* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
for any of the boards.
* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
(using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
modification.
