Submitting patches
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you fixed a bug or you want to add support for something, patches are
|
||
|
|
welcome! In order to ease the inclusion of your patch, it's important to follow
|
||
|
|
some rules, otherwise it will likely be rejected by maintainers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iwd rules for submitting patches follow most of the rules used by Linux kernel
|
||
|
|
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches) with some remarks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Do *not* add "Signed-off-by" lines in your commit messages. iwd does not
|
||
|
|
use them, so including them is actually an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Be sure to follow the coding style rules of iwd. They are listed in
|
||
|
|
doc/coding-style.txt.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Split your patch according to the top-level directories. E.g.: if you added
|
||
|
|
a feature that touches files under 'unit/', 'src/' and 'doc/'
|
||
|
|
directories, split in three separated patches. Care should be taken to
|
||
|
|
structure patches in such a way as to not break compilation. The patches
|
||
|
|
should be split even if breaking the compilation is unavoidable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) The commit message should follow 50/72 formatting which means the header
|
||
|
|
should be limited to 50 characters and the description should be wrapped at 72
|
||
|
|
characters except if it contains quoted information from debug tools like
|
||
|
|
backtraces, compiler errors, etc.
