How does one go about signing off on a patch in upstream? New to this and can't figure it out.
There is a small paragraph about it in this Wiki topic:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Submitting_Patches#Coauthored_patches
--- From the Wiki --- Both reviewers and coauthors indicate approval of a patch by sending a Signed-off-by line to the wine-devel mailing list. For example:
From: Nikolay Sivov nsivov@example.net To: wine-devel@winehq.org Subject: Re: gdiplus: Avoid calling GdipFillPath() with an empty path.
Signed-off-by: Nikolay Sivov nsivov@example.net --- From the Wiki ---
The easiest way is to open the mail you received from the wine-devel mailing list for the patch you want to sign, and reply with a body consisting of a single Signed-off-by line with your name/email.
If you lost the original wine-devel mail you may retrieve the subject line from the archives : https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/ Then you just have to send a new email with subject 'Re: ' followed by the original subject, and the Signed-off-by line in the body.
The mailing list should automatically recognize the subject line and join the Signed-off-by line to the proper patch.
