Some patches may get +backported to a release branch. + +We do not currently accept GitHub pull requests for the core OpenVPN project. +Instead, all patches must be sent to "openvpn-devel" mailing list for review: + +- https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel + +The subject line should preferably be prefixed with [PATCH]. To avoid merging +issues the patches should be generated with git-format-patch or sent using +git-send-email. Try to split large patches into small, atomic pieces to make +reviews easier. + +If you want quick feedback on a patch before sending it to openvpn-devel mailing +list, you can visit the #openvpn-devel channel on irc.freenode.net. Note that +you need to be logged in to Freenode to join the channel: + +- http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup + +More detailed contribution instructions are available here: + +- https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DeveloperDocumentation + +Note that the process for contributing to other OpenVPN projects such as +openvpn-build, openvpn-gui, tap-windows6 and easy-rsa may differ from what was +described above. Please refer to the contribution instructions of each +respective project. -- 2.1.4
