How to send binary files with patches?

(1/1)

Carl Colijn:
Hi all,

I submitted a patch (#2337), but only later found out that it didn't include two binary files that are also needed.

I already found a topic on this subject called "BerliOS, patches and binary files" from April 2006.  A reply to that post suggested to use .tar.gz files and then upload these.  I subsequently submitted another patch (#2338) and specified the .tar.gz zipped version of the files.  Submitting didn't raise any errors, but when I checked the submission by clicking the "View Raw Patch" link a download came up of only 8 bytes...  as in: I didn't know gzip was that efficient ;)

So how can I submit these binary files?  Or should I just e-mail them to whoever will process my patch?

btw: only after submitting patch #2338 I saw you could modify an existing patch (#2337 in my case); if I had known that I wouldn't have created #2338; sorry for that.

Simple post it (zipped) here and add a link to the forum message afterwards at berlios (add a comment to the patch).

Ok then, here it is then.  Although I find it a bit draft quality, it could be a good starting point.  It's 2 new pictures for the environment settings dialog (I added a new tab); at least Code::Blocks will not complain while executing after the patch I mentioned ;)
