    28 Sending a bug report
    29 --------------------
    30 
    31 If you need to send a bug report, please send a mail with subject
    32 prefixed with "[CT_NG]" with to following destinations:
    33     TO: yann.morin.1998 (at) anciens.enib.fr
    34     CC: crossgcc (at) sourceware.org
    35 
    36 Sending patches
    37 ---------------

    39 If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file.
    40 
    41 Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically
    42 something like:
    43    Signed-off-by: John DOE <john.doe@somewhere.net>
    44 
    45 The SoB line is clearly described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches , section
    46 12, of your favourite Linux kernel source tree.
    47 
    48 Then you'll need to correctly configure Mercurial. There are two extensions
    49 that you may find usefull:
    50   - mq        : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension
    51   - patchbomb : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PatchbombExtension
    52 
    53 Here's a typical hacking session:
    54   hg clone http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/crosstool-ng crosstool-ng
    55   cd crosstool-ng
    56   hg qinit
    57   hg qnew -D -U -e my_first_patch
    58   *edit patch description*
    59   *hack* *hack* *check* *fails* *hack* *hack* *check* *works*
    60   hg qref -D -e
