how to submit patch with binary files?

Hi,

I've developed a patch for Code::Blocks to add support for the C compiler I use with my embedded microcontroller. I'd like to submit a patch for inclusion in Code::Blocks, but I'm not sure how to do so.

Generating the patch file for the Compiler plugin is easy (via "svn diff") but I have also added a new Project Wizard to the ScriptedWizard plugin, and that requires two new binary files (logo.png and wizard.png). The patch file I generated does not include them.

I looked at the "Submit a Patch" form on http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?group_id=5358 but it seems to just want the patch file. How do I submit the binaries as well? Should I zip them up?

Thanks,

Oscar.

You can upload them on a image hosting site and provide links.

Hi oBFusCATed,

Sorry if I'm being dumb - do you mean I should embed the links in the patch file itself? Can you give me an example of how they should appear?

No, you can post the links as comment  to the patch.
