-Caja is part of the MATE git repository. 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.
