The Git version can be checked from the MATE git server. -See http://live.gnome.org/Git for details on how to get started with -MATE Git. For details on how Caja uses git, see the README.commits -file. - -If you want to contribute in development discussions, please send mail -to the caja mailing list: <[email protected]>. Archives and -subscription information are available at -http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/caja-list - - -Submitting Patches ------------------- - -If you've been working on a change to Caja and want to propose it -for inclusion, you have to generate a patch and submit it for review -by the maintainers. - -Patches should be made with 'git format-patch -M' -and should conform to Caja coding style as described in -docs/style-guide.html. We are pretty strict about coding style, so -please make sure you follow the style guide to avoid unnecessary -work on both sides when reviewing the patch. - -The best way to submit a patch for review is to post it on the mailing -list. That way everyone sees it and can take part in the following -discussion about it. Sometimes people also attach patches to bugs in -bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product 'caja'). If you do -this, please send a mail to the list saying you did so, because it is -very easy for the bugzilla email to get lost in all the bugzilla -reports, and only the people CCd on the bug can partake in the -discussion. When attaching bugs to bugzilla from git the git-bz -command can be helpful, see: -http://blog.fishsoup.net/2008/11/16/git-bz-bugzilla-subcommand-for-git/ - -The Caja maintainers do their best to review patches and help -developers that want to work on something, however we are often -swamped in work and can miss an email or just forget to answer -it. Don't be afraid of reposting your patches after a while, or poking -us about the status of them. - -Also, if you're planning to do large changes, please take them up for -discussion on the list first. If you get feedback early it is much -easier to integrate it into your work. - -If your patch adds non-trivial strings, please ask for a string review -from the i18n team before committing the changes. Strings should avoid -contractions, and stay consistent with other strings already in Caja. -Please reuse strings within Caja where it makes sense to do so. +See also http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/applications:caja . |
