We skip upstream commit
33488f19793dc0a86fdee27266c5319b5b78d695
because it breaks from our standard for where we put the hwdb.bin.
We may have to revisit this issue in the future.

CONTRIBUTING.
|
|
|
|
Please read the following guidelines before contributing.
|
|
|
|
1. The basic unit of contribution is a "git commit". This will be merged into
|
|
master by one of the team members who will review it and sign-off/commit or
|
|
reject it. If the commit is in another branch, it will added to HEAD/master
|
|
using
|
|
|
|
git cherry-pick -s <tree-ish>
|
|
|
|
Or if the commit is submitted as a stand alone file produce by
|
|
|
|
git format-patch <tree-ish>
|
|
|
|
Then it will be committed by
|
|
|
|
git am -s 0001-foo-bar.patch
|
|
|
|
Or if the commit is submitted as a github merge request, then the github web
|
|
interface can be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Work in a branch immediately off of master, do not work directly in master,
|
|
and do not be afraid of creating a local branch for every experimental thing you
|
|
want to try:
|
|
|
|
git checkout master # make sure your on master
|
|
git branch idea1 # I've got an idea, let me work on it
|
|
git checkout idea1
|
|
<hack ... hack ... hack>
|
|
git commit -m "step1" # I like what I've done so far, but I'm not finished
|
|
<hack ... hack ... hack>
|
|
git commit -m "step2"
|
|
<hack ... hack ... hack>
|
|
git commit -m "step3"
|
|
<hack ... hack ... hack>
|
|
git revert <tree-ish for step2> # Wow step 2 was dumb
|
|
<hack ... hack ... hack>
|
|
git commit -m "step4" # Its good now, but those
|
|
# commits are messy
|
|
|
|
git rebase -i <tree-ish step1>^ # start a rebase on the parent of step1
|
|
(drop into editor and squash commits) # note the ^ at the end!
|
|
(exit editor and fix commit message)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can cherry-pick those commits into another prestine branch:
|
|
|
|
... its good to go! ....
|
|
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git branch idea1-clean
|
|
git checkout idea1-clean
|
|
git cherry-pick <sha1-of-good-commit1>
|
|
git cherry-pick <sha1-of-good-commit2>
|
|
(pick them in any order that stacks)
|
|
(you can skip commits, but do them in the correct order to avoid conflits)
|
|
git rebase -i <tree-ish of sha1-of-good-commit1>^ # squash many commits into one
|
|
# note the ^ at the end!
|
|
|
|
Once you are done with a local branch you can delete it using
|
|
|
|
git branch -D idea1
|
|
|
|
You can delete a remote branch by doing
|
|
|
|
git push origin :idea1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Your commit message should conform to the following standard:
|
|
|
|
file/changed: Concice and complete statement of the purpose
|
|
|
|
This is the body of the commit message. The line above is the
|
|
summary. The summary should be no more than 72 chars long. The
|
|
body can be more freely formatted, but make it look nice. Make
|
|
sure to reference any bug reports and other contributors. Make
|
|
sure the correct authorship appears. Reference any early commits
|
|
by their full shaw:
|
|
|
|
b52c6402b5b42620571c36c74a12dcb45ec1e0d6
|
|
|
|
which you can put on its own line and indent.

If you commit using
|
|
|
|
git commit -s
|
|
|
|
your sign-off will be automatically added. If the authorship is wrong
|
|
fix it by
|
|
|
|
git commit -s --author="Richard Feynmann <quantum@electrodynamics.edu>"
|
|
|
|
If the message doesn't look right after you commit locally, you can fix it by
|
|
doing
|
|
|
|
git commit --amend.
|
|
|
|
Then push it to your public repo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Open an issue at
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev/issues?state=open
|
|
|
|
And request a pull of your clean commit. A team member will review it,
|
|
discuss it and commit it to master or reject it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. eudev is a peer-reviewed project. So even team members must ask another
|
|
team member to sign-off and commit your work. The only exception are trivial
|
|
commits
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. HEAD/master must always build and must always be considered stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Releases should be tagged and signed using
|
|
|
|
git tag -s -u <gpg name> -m "Release X"
|
|
|
|
where X is the full release number. Make sure that before you release,
|
|
you change the value in AC_INIT of configure.ac to match the release
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Tarball releases should be made from HEAD/master at signed tagged points
|
|
by doing
|
|
|
|
autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --enable-gtk-doc
|
|
make
|
|
make dist
|
|
|
|
TODO: The build system needs to be tweaked so that --enable-gtk-doc is not needed
|
|
and one can directly run "make dist" instead of "make; make dist". Make sure
|
|
the tarball is correctly named to match the tag. If it isn't you need to
|
|
fix configure.ac and retag.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. TODO: coding style for C, python, perl and autotool stuff.
|
|
|
