[webkit-dev] Can't upload patch

[Konrad Piascik]

Instead of piping the output of "git show", I'd use "git format-patch -1"  This will generate a patch file for the topmost commit of your current branch.

Cheers,
Konrad

... valid *diff* file. Damn you autocorrect!

Note that "git show" produces a valid different file, extra commit message notwithstanding. (The commit message is part of the header and will be ignored when used with diff and related tools.)

If you have your commit, plus the ChangeLog changes mer ged into the same commit, you can just pipe the output of "git show" to a file and attach that to your bug manually instead. For the bots and the review machinery, the patch should be the same as if you had uploaded it through webkit-patch. You'll only miss out on a few sanity checks that webkit-patch performs before uploading, and the raw file will look slightly differently.

Cheers,
  Jakob

Hmm.  I have a git checkout of webkit so svn-create-patch doesn't want to work.

Yeah, the patch is probably too big. The particular patch could be broken up into 3-4 separate smaller patches.  Perhaps that will work.

Have you tried uploading the patch manually by running
svn-create-patch and using the "attachments" UI in bugs.webkit.org<http://bugs.webkit.org>?

One possibility is that your patch is too big for bugs.webkit.org<http://bugs.webkit.org> to
handle.  You mention that it contains a number of binary files, which
might be the cause of the problem.
