Hi again,

I am "giving a go" with patch creation and submission.

I would like to submit a patch to add a new package to buildroot:

Package name = szip
=========================================
Szip is an implementation of the extended-Rice lossless compression 
algorithm.
The Consultative Committee on Space Data Systems (CCSDS) has adopted the
extended-Rice algorithm for international standards for space
applications[1,6,7].  Szip is reported to provide fast and effective
  compression, specifically for the EOS data generated by the NASA
  Earth Observatory System (EOS)[1]. It was originally developed at
  University of New Mexico (UNM) and  integrated with HDF4 by UNM
  researchers and developers.
================================================

My development machine is running Fedora 21.
I followed the instructions for submitting patches in the manual:
==============================================
git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
--
make changes
--
git fetch --all --tags
git rebase origin/master
git format-patch -M -n -s --subject-prefix='[PATCH][New Pkg: szip]' \
--cover-letter  -o outgoing origin/master
==============================================
The above worked great !! :)
By the way, why doesn't your documentation recommend creating a branch
for making patches?


I use an external email server from my employer.
I have managed to setup email clients like Thunderbird to use IMAP 
successfully.

However, I can't get "mutt" or "alpine" to cooperate with smtp.
I know sendmail is probably preferred but I want to stay with the one 
IMAP-based email server.

In any case, I hope it is okay to attach my patch as part of this email ?
Nevertheless I had to manually compose this email and that is awful :(

Any further advice and guidance is welcomed


Happy New Year !! :)


Cheers,
Ernest
