Developing Oragono

Most development happens on the develop branch, which is occasionally rebased + merged into master when it’s not incredibly broken. When this happens, the develop branch is usually pruned until I feel like making ‘unsafe’ changes again.

I may also name the branch develop+feature if I’m developing multiple, or particularly unstable, features.

The intent is to keep master relatively stable.

Updating vendor/

The vendor/ directory holds our dependencies. When we import new pages, we need to update this folder to contain these new deps.

To update this folder:

  1. Install https://github.com/dpw/vendetta
  2. cd to Oragono folder
  3. vendetta -u -p
  4. Commit the result with the message "vendor: Updated submodules"

This will make sure things stay nice and up-to-date for users.

Fuzzing and Testing

Fuzzing can be useful. We don’t have testing done inside the IRCd itself, but this fuzzer I’ve written works alright and has helped shake out various bugs: irc_fuzz.py.

In addition, I’ve got the beginnings of a stress-tester here which is useful: https://github.com/DanielOaks/irc-stress-test

As well, there’s a decent set of ‘tests’ here, which I like to run Oragono through now and then: https://github.com/DanielOaks/irctest
