10 Contributing

Everyone is welcome to contribute to Cuirass. You can report bugs, send patches and share your ideas with others by sending emails the mailing list.

Development is done using the Git distributed version control system. Thus, access to the repository is not strictly necessary. We welcome contributions in the form of patches as produced by git format-patch. Please write commit logs in the ChangeLog format (see Change Logs in GNU Coding Standards); you can check the commit history for examples.

When posting a patch to the mailing list, use ‘[PATCH] …’ as a subject. You may use your email client or the git send-email command. We prefer to get patches in plain text messages, either inline or as MIME attachments. You are advised to pay attention if your email client changes anything like line breaks or indentation which could potentially break the patches.
