Common patch readme from sarf
-----------------------------

Introduction

Contains some information about the patches I (sarf) make for 
the World of Warcraft game, and specifically for Cosmos, a custom UI 
for that game.

Installation

Basically, I take a file, make changes to it and save the changed file as 
"OriginalFileName.Patched" (as well as provide a diff file). I include 
the original file with my patches to make it easy to see what changes I made,
as well as to make it possible to re-implement my patch if the original file
has been updated.


Copy *.Patched and replace * with them.
For example, if there is a "ChatFrame.lua.Patched" file, it should replace 
"ChatFrame.lua".
Paths are not always provided - you are assumed to know where files 
should end up.

Sometimes short paths are used, and the most common ones are AddOns and 
FrameXML.
This means that an AddOn was added/fixed as well as files present in the 
FrameXML directory.
If I create a new AddOn, I do not - for obvious reasons - create any 
"*.Patched" files nor any "*.Patched.diff" files.


Information about the patches

I often (read: almost always) make patches depending on user input. 
Thus, I often post about my patches on the CosmosUI forums :
http://www.cosmosui.org/forums/

If more detailed information is required, please contact me by mail 
(k!!!@!!!fukt.bth.se - remove the exclamation marks) or on the IRC channel
irc://irc.datavertex.com/#cosmostesters


Cosmos patches

Patches to Cosmos are removed as they are implemented into the Cosmos Alpha.
I *can* often provide the patches on request, if needed.


How to get me to make a patch

Basically, post about a problem on the CosmosUI boards, 
in the Cosmos Bugzilla, on the IRC channel, on the official UI board or 
by mailing me about it.
