After some back and forth on the bug page's message board, we received some helpful advice from a developer named David Doria. He gave us a link to the vtkSTLWriter Class documentation. Fixing the bug ended up being incredibly simple. The necessary steps were:
- Add a conditional statement
- Add a cout with the warning text
- Modify the .h file to include a function call in the source code
As far as submitting the code, we all found various wiki posts about submitting, but it wasn't until Glen found a detailed step by step process that we were able to get anywhere with submission. The commit process is basically a sequence of git and ssh commands (this process has been posted on our wiki).
Unfortunately, we were halted in the commit process due to lack of authorization. An e-mail was sent out to the developer's mailing list, and hopefully we will be authorized to submit the code soon.
