What's the best way to submit patches?

I'd like to offer some minor additions to SpriteBatch and a few other classes. What's the best way to submit a patch?

Probably be best to attach the patch file to the issue tracker.

Problem is that Google Code has a 50mb attachment limit for the issue tracker, and we reached that :/ If you could host your diff somewhere and just link to it it would be the best option. I usually do not accept pull requests on Github as that repo is not fully functional. We can't link in the external modules for gdx/ (table-layout) with git.

[BurningHand]

Eww, that's not a lot of space now is it?

I'll try and remember to ask the Google Code folks about this when I get back to work on Monday, see if there is some workaround. (Yeah. my day job is working on Google+.)

[mzechner]

That would be fantastic!

OK it's been increased to 512 MB.

Here's what he said:

Feel free to contact us if they run out again. They can also contact us on google-code-hosting@googlegroups.com, we always honor these requests for legitimate users.

[mzechner]

Wow, awesome, thanks a bunch!

Anyway, I presume this means I can go ahead and submit patches via the bug tracker? Does each patch need to have a license statement, or is there a blanket contributor agreement that I can simply agree to in advance?

For simple bug fixes consisting of a few lines we usually don't require signing the CLA. In all other cases we need a signed copy of this http://libgdx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CLA.txt
