Submitting patches ================== If you fixed a bug or you want to add support for something, patches are welcome! The preferred method of submitting the patches to the project is by email to the iwd mailing list: iwd@lists.01.org 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.
