Dear Nut-Devs, I have general question to the contribution and the handling of new code in the NUT-Project.
We would like to implement our USV-Solution as a driver to NUT, but we are having the problem, that we need a powerful “C”-based gpio library for it. We discussed this topic internally, and we are having the opinion, that it does make sense, to write this library separate from a NUT-driver, and publish this gpio-library with GPLv2 to the community on our own github repo. In the driver itself, we would like to use this library like an API. In the NUT-project, we want to implement the the christ-usv driver and customize the autotools project for a dynamic compile of our driver. The gpio-library would be a specific dependency of the christ-usv-driver and should not affect the other drivers or the whole project itself. We would to contribute our driver back to the official project/community and don’t want to fork it. Are there any reserves for new open source library dependencies in the autotools project? Are there any reserves in general with a view of our planed process? Does this process fit to your normal code contribution guidelines? Do you see any better options for a code contribution?
