Hello,
this is just to announce that we are now restricting the policy for
committing changes to the Evolution, GAL and GtkHTML CVS repositories.
The purpose of this is to enforce patch review before changes get
made, making sure that the tree stay stable and consequently we can
roll a Release Candidate tarball soon.
So, we have created a new list, [EMAIL PROTECTED], for
people who want to contribute modifications to Evolution, or help with
the review process. Access is open to everyone; the home page for the
mailing list is:
http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-patches
Here are the new rules for applying changes to the Evolution,
GtkHTML and GAL trees:
* Every patch will have to be sent to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list in the form of a
unified diff (cvs diff -u) before being committed.
* Every patch will have to be on the list for at least 24 hours
before being committed. A week-end (Saturday+Sunday) counts as a
single 24-hour day.
If a patch is by one of the core contributors of the module the
patch refers to and no-one speaks up against it in the 24 hour
period, the author can go ahead and commit the patch.
On the other hand, patches by people who are not core contributors of
the module being patched will always have to be confirmed as safe by
one of the core contributors first.
* Core contributors are required to give their opinion on the bug in the
24 hour period.
* Core module members are defined as follows:

Summary:
Iain Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* We will only accept patches for bugs that are actually on the
Bugzilla; the bug # must be specified when sending the patch
to the list.
* Once the patch has been committed, it is the author's responsibility
to:
- Close the corresponding bug on Bugzilla.
- Write to the mailing list, replying to the original message
containing the patch to inform the other hackers that the
patch has been committed.
These rules don't apply to documentation or translations; these can
be updated more freely as it has happened in the past.
