Re: How do I create a developer account


Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for your response. I am really excited getting such a
prompt reply. I have couple of doubts.
1. To submit a patch do I need a bug-id?
2. If I am planning to introduce a new feature (enhancement) how to
get a bug-id for that.
3. To create a patch do I need to do a CVS diff (or simple diff
command is sufficient, if then what option should I use). With
anonymous CVS login I could not do a cvs update or cvs diff.
