*grumble* I need help to manage to add a file in mercurial/mq so I can send it y’all.
"hg stat” sees that I have a new file in the drivers directory:
$ hg stat ? chirp/drivers/ft2d.py
“hg export” shows my comment and metadata of sorts:
hg export tip # HG changeset patch # User Declan Rieb nthreewx@gmail.com # Date 1498951152 21600 # Sat Jul 01 17:19:12 2017 -0600 # Node ID 0b3fa805a0993cbb9d593d236242202ad1d6b7f7 # Parent 0b2aaa54f3082a8fe735b4e32091466c50b9900b [ft2d] Add support for Yaesu FT2DR. #3257 #3325 #3887
But… there’s no patch information added to the end!
“hg diff” shows, well, nothing.
If I try to play with an existing file, the process shows the diffs, as expected. How does one convince hq to include the new file in export as a diff? I know it can be done; Jim Unroe did it on June 13. I shan’t need this capability very often, I presume, so I’m asking for some more specific directions. It’s not included in the directions at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio or http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersProcess [or perhaps my lazy mind just didn’t find the otherwise-obvious instruction therein.]
Now, I’m not averse to just attaching the file or copying it inline, but that probably doesn’t match any automatic processes.
I think I understand that the prototype .img file to be added to the tests needs to come as an attachment somehow.
Thanks for your understanding and help.
