The requirement +that all contributions be gpg-signed helps to ensure a repository's +reliability and license integrity, and is thus considered worth of +the (small) trouble that it might entail. + +Please note that patch submission is only one of the many ways to +advance the development of a software component, and that assistance +in the following areas is always needed, and greatly appreciated: + +* brainstorming. +* expressing needs, requesting features. +* sharing knowledge about your favorite system. +* lurking on irc, reviewing commits and patches. +* testing release candidates on different system. +* building from source, testing bleeding-edge versions. + + +If you would like to submit code, then the following how-to is for you. + +1. discuss your proposed changes on the project's freenode irc channel. +2. if the changes you propose are not trivial to accept, start a discussion + on the project's mailing list. +3. obtain as much help as needed on irc; post early versions of your work. +4. finalize your patch together with the project maintainer. +5. commit the patch to your local repository. +6. verify that everything builds, and that nothing breaks. +7 run contrib.sh, then sign and submit your patch. |
