Okay, I'll gladly do that, but what does it mean to "send upstream"? Simply commit to master? Or is somebody to be consulted before? Is there a Wiki to sketch the process? Cheers, Gabor On 3/20/13, Ian Lynagh wrote:

Track subrepos Cabal

If I'm understanding right, this adds a GHC-only patch to fix a couple of typos. Thanks you for your many typo fixes, but in the case of submodules this sort of patch should be sent upstream instead; that way less effort is needed overall, and there is no chance that the patches will be lost when we resync with upstream. We only make GHC-only patches when they are necessary to keep the build working.

Thanks Ian
