Re: [platform-swt-dev] Question about patches

Are both patches for the same bug? If so, then you can get away with 
creating the second patch from your local sandbox. When you attach it, you 
can make the first one obsolete.

If the patches are for separate bugs, however, then yes, please create a 
completely separate patch. You will have to prune out the first patch 
first, and re-test before attaching. You can cross-reference the bugs if 
you think that the patches should be reviewed together.

Hi there,

I am working on a patch for
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223391

Having recently submitted another patch, I'm wondering how I should 
create this second patch. Since my local sandbox already has the 
changes from the previous patch in it, the second patch would contain 
those changes, too. Am I supposed to revert my sandbox to the state in 
the repository and create the patch from that? Or should I just check 
the code out into another project for this patch? What's the best 
strategy here?

Thanks in advance.
Kristian
