Hello list
I'm wondering if there are documentations on how contribution are
managed for the project.
I try to find some but didn't manage to. There are easily reachable
doc about how to contribute of course (how to make patches, fixe your
identity, send mail via git... etc) but I didn't find what I usually
find on other open source project (CONTRIBUTING.md file most of the
time) like
- what are the tests do should I run before submitting (I learnt by
practice about test image or bitbake selftest for example) ?
- is there a specific configuration that I should test before
submitting (poky is ok, or should I also test another distro)?
- does some commit writing rules exist ? (some projects want commits
to begin with a prefix, usually the software component that is
modified by the patch for example)
- what are the coding rules you should follow, if any? (having common
coding rules helps greatly the review of patches, pylint for python
code for example, and I saw there are some bitbake recipes linter from
meta-sca layer)
Long story short, I really would like to know what are the different
steps a patch should go through before being merged into master (and
as a side question, what are the steps for a patch to be backported
into one of the LTS branch).
I'm deeply sorry if all these questions are obvious to you and have
been already answered somewhere, in that case, please just give me the
link.
I recently started to contribute to yocto / oe and I think it will
help me to make better contributions if I know more of how it works
"under the hood".
Thanks for starting this thread! We precisely have plans to consolidate
docs on how to contribute.
See https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Document_Consolidation and
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Maintainers_Manual for a list of
documents we want to consolidate.
Cheers
Michael.
