<para xml:id="patch.master.first">Make patches against the master branch. Do the master
branch first even if you want the patch in another branch altogether. We operate by
apply fixes first to the master branch and then backporting. Another reason to patch
master first is because our patch testing system only works against the master branch.
Attach your patch to your JIRA and then mark the issue 'Patch Available'. This will prompt
the HadoopQA system to run your
patch through all unit tests and report back the results to the JIRA. It may take a few hours
for your patch to be run. HadoopQA runs the most recently attached patch to the JIRA regardless.
If you want to rerun your patch against HadoopQA perhaps to verify that indeed a certain test
failure is the result of your patch, then reattach your patch and it will be run again.</para>
<para>Please submit one patch-file per Jira. For example, if multiple files are changed make sure the
selected resource when generating the patch is a directory. Patch files can reflect changes in multiple files. </para>
