Looking for patch +1’s

During his keynote today, and now on the Rails blog, David explained the new policy for getting patches into Rails.

Basically the new policy requires every patch to have documentation, tests and 3 supporters. It’s a welcome change, especially if it means the core team have to do less legwork and apply higher quality patches.

Therefore, I am now looking for a few supporters for some of my patches. If there’s anything of the below you’d like to see included in Rails, please comment on the patch, saying +1.

• #6000: CSS-Class not assigned - for some reason you cannot pass html_options to date_select tags and its kin. With this patch, you can.
• #7054: db:test:purge shouldn’t rely on SQL Server command line tools - using SQL Server and want to run your tests on something other than Windows? With this patch, you can.

I have a few other patches sitting idle, but they might need a bit more work (read: tests) before getting supporters.

Comments and Trackbacks

Tried patch for #6000 and had a conflict in date_helper_test .rb and date_helper.rb on the latest revision of trunk.

Could you upload an updated patch file to make it easier for people to try your patch?

Also, TortoiseMerge asked me if I would apply the patch from /trunk/actionpack/ instead of just /trunk.

Done
