Contributions to the vblade are welcome.
|
|
|
|
In contributing, though, please stay true to the original simplicity
|
|
of the software. Many open source projects suffer from the "creeping
|
|
feature demon" phenomenon. If you think the vblade needs a great new
|
|
feature, first seriously try to think of a way to accomplish your goal
|
|
without adding to the vblade itself.
|
|
|
|
Patches should be clean (to the point and easy to read) and should do
|
|
one thing. (Avoid, for example, mixing style changes with substantive
|
|
changes.) Send multiple patches if necessary. Patches should be
|
|
generated with "diff -uprN" if possible, and should be designed to be
|
|
applied with "patch -p1".
|
|
|
|
When possible, the best way to submit a patch is by sending it to the
|
|
aoetools-discuss list. You can subscribe at the aoetools project web
|
|
page on sourceforge.net.
|
|
|
|
When you send your patch, here are some things to cover:
|
|
|
|
* What version of the vblade did you use to generate the patch?
|
|
(Hopefully it was the latest.)
|
|
|
|
* What was your motivation for creating the patch? That is, what
|
|
problem does it solve?
|
|
|
|
* What testing did you perform to ensure that your patch did not
|
|
introduce bugs and accomplished what you intended?
|
|
|
|
* If your changes affect the end-user experience, have you updated
|
|
the vblade documentation?
|
|
|
|
* Is your email client able to send a patch without changing it?
|
|
Many email clients and servers corrupt patches. Please test your
|
|
email chain by sending an applying a patch before sending your
|
|
patch to the mailing list.
