How to modify the FahMon source code

First, you'll need to export or checkout the trunk from the svn repository. See CodeWhere for how to do this.

Then, you can start modifying the source code as you like. I would request that you don't make any changes to the GNU build scripts that aren't necessary to get your new build to compile (like including new files etc.). If you think the files need to be modified please open a ticket about it first.

After you've done whatever you wanted to do to the code, you can submit it to the developers by creating a diff file of the changes by using svn diff. Please note that if you have added new binary files (like artwork) these may not get included in the diff and you'll have to include them as separate files.

Once you have your diff and other files, please create a new ticket for the component you've modified, and include the words *patch* in the title so the developers know that the ticket is not a bug/feature request.
