How to submit changes
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Please try to follow the guidelines below. They will make things
|
|
easier on the maintainers. Not all of these guidelines matter for every
|
|
trivial change so apply some common sense.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure about something written here, ask on the mailing list
|
|
xs-devel@lists.xenserver.org.
|
|
|
|
0. Before starting a big project, discuss it on the list first :-)
|
|
|
|
1. Always test your changes, however small, by both targetted
|
|
manual testing and by running the unit tests.
|
|
|
|
2. When adding new functionality, include test cases for any
|
|
* important; or
|
|
* difficult to manually test; or
|
|
* easy to break
|
|
new code.
|
|
|
|
3. All submissions must be made under the terms of the "Developer's
|
|
Certificate of Origin" (DCO) and should include a Signed-off-by:
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
4. All contributions to the project must be sent as patches to the
|
|
xs-devel@lists.xenserver.org mailing list.
|
|
|
|
5. Each patch should include a descriptive commit comment that helps
|
|
understand why the patch is necessary and why it works. This will
|
|
be used both for initial review and for new people to understand
|
|
how the code works later.
|
|
|
|
6. For bonus points, ensure the project still builds in between every
|
|
patch in a set: this helps hunt down future regressions with 'bisect'.
|
|
|
|
7. Make sure you have the right to submit any changes you make. If you
|
|
do changes at work you may find your employer owns the patches
|
|
instead of you.
