Any of you ever contributed a patch to a FOSS project?

Any of you ever contributed a patch to a FOSS project?

My patches just keep getting ignored. wut do?

Resend the patch with RFC, I guess? Or check rules of etiquette or documentation regarding sending patches if there are any.

Write better code

fork the project lol

Yes, the Linux kernel. Counter-intuitively it was the most polite interaction I ever encountered in FOSS development.

If it's a small project with one dev it means the dev likely stopped developing it or is busy or whatever.

Make better commits

i.e. github.com/NyaaPantsu/nyaa/commit/dad9419a978d586b874899d9cb97509522c56e38

I changed a couple of He by Xe.

I get paid to contribute to ONAP

onap.org/

Other than that I haven't done shit. If I encounter some interesting low-hanging fruit I'll go for it, otherwise I have my own stuff to do.

I've done a few. Nothing too major.

Kernel as well here. Much fun. Number one rule, check everything you possibly can (submitting rules, coding style, tests etc.) efore sending anything, it saves maintainers a ton of effort and makes them more likely to respond.

>be admin of a FOSS project
>reject all patches

I just did it as a FOSS for my resume but I cannot stand pajeet code so there's that

If you want to feel intimidated, read the Tor source code. Highest quality FOSS code I've seen.

what makes it pajeet code sir?

I contributed an OS X fix to screenfetch, but you won't find me in the git blame because the guy who merged decided to do a whole bunch of merges manually at the same time and didn't bother changing the author. I can kind of understand, because at the time maintenance had fallen behind, but it's still annoying.

I'm not retarded enough to work for free for a large corporation.

That is fucking hilarious

Commit with -s and you won't have such problems.

>it saves maintainers a ton of effort and makes them more likely to respond.
So you're saying I can do everything right and there's still a chance I won't get a response?

Never felt the need for that, I'd just fork it if anything

Fuck open sores. It's populated with nothing but SJW trash. If I like a project I use it but I'll be fucked if I ever contribute anything or open my own code so some purple hair freak tries to shove a CoC up my ass. Lol

Proprietary software companies probably also have a CoC internally and they have the feminist HR department to enforce it.

I don't have a problem using software with SJW shits at the helm. I'd just never contribute to a project or open any of my code. If the thanks people get for trying to give away some software is to be harassed by these harpies then I laugh at the thought of getting involved. Will I use it? Of course. Make my free software, dummy. Saves me the work and the money of having to pay. I used to like the idea of the GPL and sharing code but that changed when meritocracy became a dirty word. Just make my fucking software and kill each other for not being diverse enough or whatever lol. As long as my fucking software is there to download I don't care if you cut each others' throats. There'll be another crew of slaves to replace you lol.

this desu

You know, when you end every other sentence with "lol" and pair your posts with le reddit frog, it's hard to take you seriously.

ah what font is this

Monaco I think. I doesn't look good with Linux font rendering.

Yes.
Learn how to submit shit

It wouldn't have helped, they weren't actually merging commits but just copy-pasting code from the PRs.
