# 5.8. Hacking the Code

So, have you found a bug you want to fix? Want to implement a feature from the TODO list? Got a new feature to implement? Hacking the code couldn't be easier. Just edit your copy of the sources. No need to copy files to `.orig` or anything. CVS has copies of the originals.

When you have your code in a working state and have tested as best you can with the hardware you have, generate a patch against the current sources in the CVS repository.

     # cvs update
     # cvs diff > patchfile

Mail the patch to the linux-lvm or dm-devel list (Section C.1) with a description of what changes or additions you implemented.
