How to get an LSS change committed

Review

You get your change reviewed, you can upload it to http://codereview.chromium.org (Rietveld) using git cl upload from Chromium's depot-tools.

Testing

Unfortunately, LSS has no automated test suite.

You can test LSS by patching it into Chromium, building Chromium, and running Chromium's tests. (See ProjectsUsingLSS.)

You can compile-test LSS by running:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wstrict-prototypes -c linux_syscall_support.h

Rolling into Chromium

If you commit a change to LSS, please also commit a Chromium change to update lss_revision in Chromium's DEPS file.

This ensures that the LSS change gets tested, so that people who commit later LSS changes don't run into problems with updating lss_revision.
