[pulseaudio-discuss] How to contribute

[Pichon, SylvainX]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the quick and complete answer!
And I agree with you, I would have preferred xray vision as well :-)

Hi Sylvain,

'Twas brillig, and Pichon, SylvainX at 01/06/10 09:26 did gyre and gimble:

Excellent :D

Following the coding style is very much recommended.... Lennart (IRC:
mezcalero) has special powers to spot // comments in code ..... he
really doesn't like them - /* */ all the way :p

Personally I'd have preferred to have the super power of invisibility or
xray vision, but I guess you can't pick and and choose what radio-active
bug bites will do to you....

Yeah, just clone it and then push it back to a publiccally available git
repository somewhere and then ask for a pull request on the list -
preferably including at least a general overview and a shortlog of the
changes. A full log with diffs is also fine.

Alternatively, git email direct to the list is also perfectly acceptable.

Attaching patches to specific tickets is fine too, but Trac is a bit
weird when adding attachments as it doesn't seem to send out email
notifications to the list for attachments, so probably best to avoid
this route (or add a comment to the bug after attaching to ensure
someone notices :p)

If the changes are relatively trivial/uncontroversial then I can merge
them in. If they are more fundamental then I usually defer to Lennart to
do the merging/reviewing etc. seeing as he is the PA guru.



Feel free to hang out in IRC at #pulseaudio. I'm coling there.


I look forward to your contributions!

Cheers

Col
