== Instructions for developers
AUTOTOOLS:
* "./bootstrap" generates all files needed to compile and
install the code (run it after checkout from git)
* "make distclean" removes all unnecessary files, but the
code can still be recompiled with "./configure; make"
PATCHES:
* First get familiar with git. In case you are completely
lost watch Greg Kroah-Hartman explaining the very
basics.
http://archive.fosdem.org/2010/schedule/events/linuxkernelpatch
* Get up to date version of the code base.
$ git clone git://dhcpd-pools.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/dhcpd-pools/dhcpd-pools
* Don't include generated (autotools) stuff to your
patches (hint: use git-clean [-X])
* Add a Signed-off-by line, use "git commit -s"
* Patches are delivered via email only. The following
commands will do the correct thing.
$ git format-patch -C origin/master..yourbranch -o ~/patches
When you send only one patch use the following.
$ git send-email --to kerolasa@iki.fi 0001*
The command above expects you have configured email
sending properly. See git.wiki for help.
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitTips#Mail
* One patch per email, with the changelog in the body of
the email.
* When you send series of pathes include introductory
message.
$ git send-email --compose --to kerolasa@iki.fi ~/00*
Good introductory message will have at least
-- snip
Your Name (3):
firstfile.c: short description
secondfile.c: another description
firstfile.c | 2 +-
secondfile.c | 2 +-
secondfile.c | 2 +-
2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
-- snip
Above introductory can be generated with git.
$ git shortlog master..yourbranch
$ git diff --stat master..yourbranch
* Subject: [PATCH] subsystem: description. Following
~/.gitconfig will help you a little.
-- snip
[user]
name = Your Name
email = your.name@example.com
[format]
subjectprefix = PATCH
numbered = auto
signoff = yes
[sendemail]
chainreplyto = false
cc = your.name@example.com
-- snip
* If someone else wrote the patch, they should be
credited (and blamed) for it. To communicate this, add
a line:
From: John Doe <jdoe@wherever.com>
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the
explanation for the patch, which certifies that you
wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as a
open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
can certify the below:
By making a contribution to this project, I certify
that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in
part by me and I have the right to submit it
under the open source license indicated in the
file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work
that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered
under an appropriate open source license and I
have the right under that license to submit
that work with modifications, whether created
in whole or in part by me, under the same open
source license (unless I am permitted to submit
under a different license), as indicated in the
file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by
some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c)
and I have not modified it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and
the contribution are public and that a record
of the contribution (including all personal
information I submit with it, including my
sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be
redistributed consistent with this project or
the open source license(s) involved.
then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous
contributions.)
* If the the business with git is too difficult just send
source code files as is as email attachment to
maintainer.
CODING STYLE:
* The preferred coding style is based on the linux kernel
Documentation/CodingStyle. For more details see:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/Documentation/CodingStyle
* Source code is pretty printed by using two, and only
the two, indent command switches -kr -i8
