At the current time, any -person with write access to the MATE repository, can make changes to -Caja. This is a good thing, in that it encourages many people to work -on Caja, and progress can be made quickly. However, we'd like to ask -people committing to Caja to follow a few rules: - -0) Ask first. If your changes are major, or could possibly break existing - code, you should always ask. If your change is minor and you've - been working on Caja for a while it probably isn't necessary - to ask. But when in doubt, ask. Even if your change is correct, - somebody may know a better way to do things. - - If you are making changes to Caja, you should be subscribed - to [email protected]. (Subscription address: - [email protected].) This is a good place to ask - about intended changes. - - #mate on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net) is also a good place to find - Caja developers to discuss changes with. - -1) Ask _first_. - -2) With git, we no longer maintain a ChangeLog file, but you are expected - to produce a meaningful commit message. Changes without a sufficient - commit message will be reverted. See below for the expected format - of commit messages. - -3) Try to separate each change into multiple small commits that are - independent ("micro commits" in git speak). This way its easier to - see what each change does, making it easier to review, to cherry pick - to other branches, to revert, and to bisect. - -Notes: - -* When developing larger features or complicated bug fixes, it is - advisable to work in a branch in your own cloned Caja repository. - You may even consider making your repository publically available - so that others can easily test and review your changes. - -* The expected format for git commit messages is as follows: - -=== begin example commit === -Short explanation of the commit - -Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any -external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug -tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too brief. -=== end example commit === - - - Always add a brief description of the commit to the _first_ line of - the commit and terminate by two newlines (it will work without the - second newline, but that is not nice for the interfaces). - - - First line (the brief description) must only be one sentence and - should start with a capital letter unless it starts with a lowercase - symbol or identifier. Don't use a trailing period either. Don't exceed - 72 characters. - - - The main description (the body) is normal prose and should use normal - punctuation and capital letters where appropriate. Normally, for patches - sent to a mailing list it's copied from there. - - - When committing code on behalf of others use the --author option, e.g. - git commit -a --author "Joe Coder <[email protected]>" and --signoff. - - -Alexander Larsson -17 Apr 2009 |
