hi folks, Since this came up a few times, I've now added a small example on howto contribute to the centos sources to the bottom of this page : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources tldr: git clong <repo> git checkout c7 ( if you want centos7 sources ) (workout what the changeset is going to be, get_sources etc ) git checkout -b <newbranch> <do your work > git commit <more work> git commit git format-patch c7 ( to compare your work set to c7 branch ) : email the .patch files to the centos-devel list here, as attachments, ensure you have the spec file changelog updated as well in the patches.
