Re: [PATCH] add epub support to doc-view

Basically, the VCS will ask you to type in a message describing each
commit you make.  You simply have to format that message like you would
an entry in a ChangeLog.

 

I guess you mean that git will ask to enter a commit message? So I did that,

but how does it get into the patch? (I am using magit, maybe I should check

out vc, which is what I am doing now)

The ChangeLog files are automatically generated from VCS history (your
commit log entries) every time a release is made, AFAIK.

Indeed, I think I've read that somewhere .

Thanks!  Have you signed the copyright papers?

yes

You should read CONTRIBUTE, it details the procedure quite well.

 

good idea, I forgot about that document

I hope I cleared up some things.
